Raising bilingual kids can be an arduous task, but the long-term benefits knowing a second language can have on a child’s life is well worth it.
Studies have found that children who know more than one language are better at switching between tasks, and those who continue speaking multiple languages throughout their life can look forward to having better “cognitive flexibility” and a sharper brain in old age than those who only spoke one language in their adult life.

And if that wasn’t enough, bilingual kids are also better problem solvers.
It takes plenty of work to make sure your children grow up bilingual, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun.
