Tips for Caregivers:

• Try using a different language consistently at a particular time, if it feels too overwhelming to speak it all of the time.
• If you yourself only speak one language, it's never too late! Take the opportunity to learn words in a new language with your child.
• One way to expose your child to another language is to read familiar books or listen to familiar songs in a new language.

Sometimes, you like something someone is doing or wearing, and you want to tell them. In this story, Javi learns how to give a compliment.
