Play is more than just fun—it’s one of the most important ways children learn. Through play, toddlers and young children develop essential skills, including speech and language, social communication, and problem-solving.
Raising a bilingual child is a wonderful gift that provides lifelong benefits. However, many parents worry that learning two languages at once might confuse their child, delay speech development, or cause language difficulties.
Speech development is a gradual process, and every child learns to pronounce sounds at their own pace. While some speech errors are normal in early childhood, most children should be able to pronounce all speech sounds correctly by a certain age.
Many parents wonder whether their child’s speech delay is something to worry about or if it will resolve on its own. Unfortunately, misconceptions about speech delays and early intervention often lead families to take a “wait and see” approach—potentially delaying the support their child needs.
