Bilingual Parenting
Bilingual parenting is a lot of work- and it’s so worth it! Once kids can speak two languages, are biliterate, and understand two cultures they can conquer the world.
But it’s not just as easy as sending kids to a bilingual school or spending the summer in a Spanish speaking country. Bilingual parents need bilingual resources, bilingual books, and bilingual kid’s activities.
So I’ve created this bilingual parenting section to support bilingual parents and Spanish teachers in their journey to teach kids Spanish.
A few of our most popular bilingual parenting resources posts:
- 10 Spanish Kids Songs- The Ultimate Playlist
- 100 Spanish Language Resources For Bilingual Parents

- Spanish Shows On Netflix For Kids
