Between Two Worlds: The Emotional Weight of Being a Child Language Broker

from The Peoples Voice Podcast · host Trey Evans

Child Language Brokers, are children who are often put in situations where they have to interpret sensitive or complicated information for adults who do not speak the native language of a country they are it. In some cases this occurs at the expense of their own well-being. This can also affect their sense of identity, as they are forced to navigate the cultural gap between their family and society, taking on responsibilities that may hinder their own academic or emotional development. This episode explores the issues centered around how these dual pressures—being a child and an informal adult in the family—can affect long-term mental health and development.  Claro, aquí tienes la traducción al español: Los mediadores lingüísticos infantiles son niños que con frecuencia se encuentran en situaciones en las que deben interpretar información sensible o complicada para adultos que no hablan el idioma nativo del país en el que se encuentran. En algunos casos, esto ocurre a expensas de su propio bienestar.
