Workshop — Foundations for Learning: Raising a Multilingual Child

Growing up with more than one language is a wonderful gift but can also raise many questions for parents. Is it normal for multilingual children to speak later? Should you use your home language, or focus only on the school language? How many languages are “too many”?
This workshop offers parents and caregivers a clear overview of how children learn multiple languages and what to expect along the way. The workshop will address common myths and concerns about multilingual language development and provide practical guidance to support your child’s learning at home and in school.
The key takeaways include understanding what is typical for children learning more than one language; learning how to support your child’s mother tongue while encouraging new languages; exploring strategies for when your child prefers speaking one language over another; gaining clarity on common concerns, including when to introduce new languages and how many are realistic; building confidence in supporting your child’s academic and home language development. This English-language workshop is ideal for parents and caregivers who want to nurture their child’s multilingual journey with confidence.
Price of the event is CHF 35.
