I don't think it is a problem for the child. I just think that since my co-worker is the only member of her side of the family that speaks Spanish, they should do more to teach their child to be bi-lingual. I understand they want to teach him his father's culture and that is great, but it should go both ways, and he should learn his mother's as well.Originally posted by Soledad
Oh, and Cincy's Mom, a three year old speaking only Spanish in Ohio who has two English speaking parents is NOT a problem. That kid is going to pick up English no matter what. I mainly spoke Spanish until I was five, and I started and completed kindergarten with no problems. The language abilities of children are truly amazing.
And I have to admit I judge this particular person harshly for things that do not belong in this thread. Just because I don't agree with her choices views and opinions doesn't mean they are wrong.
