We are the gardeners. It’s our job to prepare the environment. We till the soil, we plant the seeds, we water, we make sure there is sunlight, we accommodate for inclement weather. As the gardeners, we prep the environment so that one day, our child’s bilingualism can fully blossom.

We’ve been talking a bit about language goals this entire episode, but at the end of the day, our main goal in bilingual parenting is to lay a foundation and instill a love for bilingualism. Anything beyond that is pure bonus. 💗
And beyond that, you very well might have further-reaching goals. I know I do! But you can rest assured knowing that if you’ve given your child a base in the language and a love for it, then you’ve fulfilled the first and foremost goal.
