The ABCs of Multilingual Parenting: Science, Strategies and Soul for Raising Multilingual Children I Raising Bilingual Children x Maison Parentally I Amsterdam

Raising a multilingual child is an incredible journey – full of opportunities, challenges and a lot of questions along the way.

• Where do I start?
• How do I create a language-rich home?
• What if my child mixes languages?
• Am I doing enough? Too much?

In this interactive 90-minute workshop, I will guide you through the essentials of multilingual parenting – cutting through the myths, the guilt and the overwhelm with real-life strategies you can actually use.

What you’ll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of how multilingual development works and why it’s worth it.
• Practical tools for building a nurturing, supportive, language-rich environment at home.
• A fresh look at the most common myths around raising multilingual children (and why you can let those worries go!).
• Actionable ideas for Family Language Planning – because hope isn’t a strategy!
• Ideas for supporting literacy in your home language(s) in ways that feel natural and sustainable.

This session is designed to give you the big picture – the basics for understanding multilingual development and a structure you can build on at your own pace.

Whether you’re just starting your multilingual journey or looking for ways to stay consistent without losing your mind, you’ll leave with practical strategies, real-life tools and the confidence to enrich your child’s language development.

No guesswork. No guilt. No overwhelm. Just clarity, connection and purpose. Come join us!
