Bilingual Parenting Protip


Children's programing on Netflix has the language option of Spanish audio. Magic school bus, other PBS kids shows, story bots, movies. If anybody is trying to raise their kids bilingual English/Spanish, this is a good way to give kids the comparison.For example, my 4 year old can quote Home in English. When watching it in Spanish she'll get to a part she knows and repeats the Spanish and says "oh! That means (translation)!" when she is watching.It's amazing to see such an educational use of screen time, and has instilled a new interest in PBS kids classics she's moved on from.Also, we have way more activities than just screen time, this is just a way to make the best use of our entertainment options. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ltW4ta
