Raising Polyglots

Have you ever heard the saying, 'Every child is a genius'? We have no speck of doubt this is true, especially when given an enriching environment for whatever area of life their heart beats to. My family lives in a linguistic paradise: Polish and Italian, we live in France, work in English. Two boys were born to this fantastic constellation, and my husband and I decided to make the most of it. And we made it! With a little help of Maria Montessori... When I confronted my sons’ language milestones against developmental psychology roadmaps, they rocketed high as if they were some linguistic prodigies. But they were simply living their fullest developmental potential in an area that was important to our family. My older son now a teen is speaking at the conference, and we’re here to convince you that every child can be a polyglot from birth, if we only want to.
