POINTS TO REMEMBER FOR TODDLERS:

Actively watch second language DVDs and TV programs together, pausing, replaying, asking simple questions, and sharing ideas. If you do this from the very beginning, your toddler will expect it and will not see it as an interruption or an intrusion.

Find second language books about TV characters like Elmo and Big Bird for you and your child to read together and talk about the characters as an alternative to watching TV.

Pick a word of the week, for instance pájaro (bird), after watching a children’s TV show in the language of your choice (for example, there are versions of Dora the Explorer in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, and many other languages). Then use that word to talk about birds, draw birds, and point them out on the street.

Use bilingual toys and books as a scaffold for creating extensive and meaningful interpersonal interactions in a particular language.
