from Dam Parenting · host Dam Parenting Podcast
Does your child resist speaking your native language? The solution might be simpler than you think. In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva sits down with Mimi from Growing Up Multilingual to explore a heartwarming breakthrough: how a simple afternoon of coloring led to a spontaneous surge in Bulgarian. We take a warm, honest, and direct look at why play is the most powerful "language lab" a child can have.We move away from the pressure of formal "lessons" and discuss why connection must always come before correction. Mimi explains how following your child’s lead creates the emotional safety they need to take linguistic risks. You’ll learn how to build a "play-connection checklist" to nurture language growth at home without making it feel like work. If you’re tired of the language tug-of-war, tune in to discover how showing up with curiosity and presence can unlock the bilingual breakthroughs you’ve been waiting for.
