086: Q&A - Will my child be confuse if we change our language strategy? - a podcast by Interviews with experts and parents sharing best practices for raising and teaching bilingual children.

On this episode of Bilingual Avenue, I give advice to a mother who is worried that changing her language strategy with her daughter will confuse her. Currently, they are speaking English at home while her child picks up the community language, Spanish in school. They will be moving to the United States and the target language and community language will be swapped. She is concerned that their relationship will be impacted because her daughter feels much more comfortable conversing with family members in English. I assure her that although it may be difficult at first, her daughter will eventually sort out the shift in language strategy.
