Ming (Agents of Speech) advises parents and clinicians that bilingualism does not cause speech delay and urges caregivers to continue using the child’s mother tongue. The speaker notes that children often prefer English because education standards and social pressures favor English, but emphasizes that parents should actively use the home language so children can express themselves in both languages.
So children prefer English more. The education standard is written in English most of the time. So you need to do your part, because at the end of the day, if you just allow your child to only speak English when your child's 18 hits puberty couldn't express themselves as well as they could in English. And so that's why it's very important for you to start to only speak in the language spoken to. So your child should speak in the mother tongue stuff. You know, a lot of doctors, a lot of parents, they do not agree with what speech therapists are saying, that bilingualism doesn't cause speech delay. Like having more than one language won't confuse your kid. Like.
