Hi everyone, I’m Carin biologist, educator, associate professor… and also just a mom trying to raise a multilingual daughter the right way. For me this was never just academic. I want my daughter to be able to sit at the table with family and actually belong not just understand, but connect. I want her to have every door multilingualism opens for her, for life. That’s the “why” behind everything here. There’s a lot of research on the benefits of raising multilingual kids, but research doesn’t tell you what to do on a Tuesday when your kid refuses to speak the language at dinner. That is exactly why I built this community a place to share resources, ideas, and real tips, mom to mom. As a founding member, you’re getting in early this space will grow with you. To start: what’s the #1 multilingual parenting struggle in your house right now? Drop it below I read every one. — Carin
