Time flies when you’re…

…having a baby!  ReadyLanguages welcomed a baby a few months ago and the blog has fallen by the wayside. (But our Twitter page words-of-the-day have still been up and running @ReadyLanguages!) Now that the new year has arrived, we hope to get back to posting more often.

Having a baby has been a wonderful experience. One of the challenges we have faced is how to best bring up a bilingual child. An interesting piece from a while back in the New York Times talks about how difficult it can be to find resources on how to best foster a bilingual environment, and also summarizes recent research that shows the advantages of early bilingual education or a bilingual household: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/health/views/11klass.html

As we discover more information on this important child-rearing topic, we’ll most certainly post about it!  Hasta pronto.
