Meditation can help children cope with the intensity of their feelings and the pressures in their lives—among family, with friends, at school.

That’s why parents, teachers, and anyone involved with young people will welcome this invaluable guide, which teaches them the techniques needed to work with children ages five to eighteen. The astonishing benefits range from relieving shyness, anxiety, and tension to reducing hyperactivity, aggression, and impatience. Meditation has also proved useful in treating asthma, insomnia, and depression, in improving concentration and creativity, and in establishing balance throughout a child’s life.

i heard the pope knows a crapload of languages
Maybe you should take a shot at improving your English before you diss other languages…?
Hi everybody, I’m writing a theses about bilingual children, and about beeing bilngual in general, so if somebody would like to help me ( fill put a questionary) please contact me in PM. THANK YOU!!!
i’m bilingual in english romanian, i am romania from both parents and I grew up in romania but I came in contact with the american culture and language as a kid even though I still speak my native language I often think in english and find myself talking it sometimes
Chinese language are too cheap to learn, The pay rate of teaching Chinese is almost the lowest legal rate in many countries. Not worth learning. If you want to benefit from learning a second language in terms of the money in the future, keep in mind, do not learn Chinese, cos anything related to the Chinese, it is just always cheap !!!
it’s really important to master both well. I am one of the bilingual student. But my
chinese and english are not very good. sigh
raising a child to be bilingual/multilingual no doubt has huge benefits…the mind benefits tremendously from exposure to the different linguistic and cultural perspectives…a chair becomes a chaise, a Stuhl, etc. and the mind quickly understands that there exist multiple ways of perceiving and understanding what we call “reality”…have a child who has been raised to speak english and german…we are now slowly introducing french as well…schools and parents need to embrace and foster this…
my family used to live in france and germany i went to a french school when i was 3 and then we moved to austria where i went to german school and 5 and then we moved to the states when i was 9 and my parents both speak english
My dad speaks Italian and I wish that he had raised me bilingual. I am only fluent in English, but I am working on my Chinese in college.
my parents moved to the US when I was a kid, so now I speak French, English,I’ve learned Italian and Spanish at school and some russian with a nanny^^ so amazing how big the brain is ahah
Hi, I am Italian but I lived in Britain for 8 years. I talk to my 26-month old son in English only and my wife does it in Italian. He doesn’t speak to me in English but at times he asks in English “milk, please” or if we’re playing together “again” or “more”. Only few words but his understanding of the English language is just amazing. At times he understands English more than Italian and we live in Italy. Not easy though because I often prompt him to speak in English. I hope i’ll succeed.
Its amazing how kids can be so bilingual. I learned 3 languages as a kid, and all though I got them a bit mixed up as a kid, I got it cleared up eventually and I’m so happy that I learned them!
i’m bilingual
English (American) and
Spanish (Latin Spanish)
and learning French and Italian and Portuguese…
seriously if you know one Romance language it’s easy to pick up on the others
I’m officially bilingual — I speak both English and French. However, I also speak some Spanish (which, to tell you the truth, comes and goes, so to master it wouldn’t be too hard), I understand Macedonian, and I understand quite a bit of Portugese as well as some Italian. But the Portugese and Italian bits are just the side-effects of knowing French and Spanish.
Teach your children to be bilingual. They will thank you when they’re older.
Normal children from 0-6 years of age naturally have a Language Acquisition Device (LAD) in their brains that’s why they can easily learn and speak any language they hear. Beyond 6 yrs old somehow that LAD becomes smaller in people’s brain & so learning a new language would not be that easy any more. So the best time to teach kids different languages is during the formative years.
I am bilingual . I grew up bilingual I cant remember learning how to speak it both I just did and thought as a child other kids were not normal. so go for it parents it eleviates later on university problems! I have seen how my friends suffer the fate of learning a 2nd languge too late
My son could speak 4 languages at age 4.
Started with Portuguese and English, at the same time. By 1 & 1/2 he could already communicate in both. Spanish came easily, after less than 4 months with a full time nanny from Argentina, at the same time that he was attending a Dutch speaking school.
He’s 5 and 3/4 now and still multi-lingual!
Its pretty simple, kids with parents who are bilingual tends to be bilingual when grown.
Lets say if the parents are German/Asian, the kids have a better chance of learning those languages.
I think these parents are just burning their money, especially those who speak a language other than English. I’m chinese, my husband is British and our three children are fluent in both chinese and English without going to any extra tuition. Language resources are everywhere. It just depends on how much effort the parents are prepared to make.
My husband is latino and my daughter is half latina. I can speak spanish fluently. My husband speaks no english and my daughter will be raised on only spanish untill she goes to school.
wow also i’m 16 years old but i learn just italian and some english XD
yeah theyre so smart.i speak dutch,german,spanish,portugese,arabic,frenc=)
I’m currently learning Japanese as my second language, and would like to learn Korean and Chinese. I do have one problem though with people learning more languages at once. They never really learn how to be accurate in the language while they’re trying to be fluent. What kind of trade off are you people doing to achieve this fluency in more than one language?
I am 16- and I speak English, and am currently learnign French and Spanish and next year hopefully German or Italian. I have also decided that I will be bringing my kids up (when I have them) bilingually, probably in French and then progressing on to maybe Spanish, I will hopefully send them to a international school so as they can continue this. I always wish my mother had continued to teach me french, after I moved from a french pre school to mainstream, as I forgot a lot of it.
I am 16 years and I am very happy too speak english, german and arabic!
For me its very easy too meed some new people!
