On Bilingual Children…

In other news…

Two of my articles on the topic of raising bilingual children went up this past week.

# 1: Raising a Bilingual Child for ParentUSACity.com which highlights some of the research showing the benefits of bilingualism and why it’s important for parents in multilingual families to try and pass on their linguistic diversity to their children. I interviewed some wonderful authors and experts for this article who provided solid insights. It’s amazing how much research has been done in this area. It was an eye-opening experience to learn the multifaceted benefits of bilingualism – something so many of us take for granted!

# 2: The other is a guest post on the Desiknowledge blog – The Balancing Desi. Desiknowledge.org, a California-based non-profit is a fantastic source of children’s books and comics from India – a great resource for Indian parents in the US and Canada who want to give their children a taste of Indian culture, mythology and history. If you grew up devouring Amar Chitra Kathas, you’ll be delighted to find that their site has a wide collection of ACKs and other educational material from India including bilingual picture books, CDs and DVDs. Inspired by TOMS Shoes‘ ‘One for One’ idea, Desiknowledge has pledged to donate a book to a child in need in India for every book purchased. Check out Mother Tongue – The Gift Your Child is Entitled To and share your views!
