I would like to hear your experiences with bilingual kids. Especially about their language development, learning to read, schooling, testing etc.
DD is 26mo and bilingual since infant. Home we use our own language and she goes to fulltime daycare in english environment as we live here in US. She is doing quite well with both of languages, I would guess quite normal maybe bit advanced in both of them. As she is so young we have not really had any struggles with her yet but I would like to hear what others have experienced.
In most of the text I have found on web they associate bilingualism with lower socio-economical status and mostly address that and not really bilingualism. Also our language is not related to english (not based on latin) and offers bit more challenges to learn together with english as the structure and words are all different.
