Let's be honest, all parents worry at one point or another of our lives about ruining our kids.
It seems this never goes away, no matter if the kids are 5 or 50, we wonder if we could have done it better. But when it comes to bicultural/bilingual kids, we have one more thing to worry, will they be mock at school for having an accent, will the not fit in because our traditions are different.
It is normal that kids will eventually prefer the language they hear the most, their brain is developing and it will incline for the one they practice the most, but, most of the times, we see this as a rejection to us instead of a normal part of development.
By raising bicultural/bilingual children, we are giving our kids the gift of expansion and resilience. Knowing it is OK to be different, being weird in their own way.
Our children will create their own culture and if we allow it, they will thrive in it.
