[quote=Anonymous]As a monolingual parent to bilingual kids I have some other suggestions. Let's say the target language is Spanish:

* Saturday morning cartoons on Univision (if you allow TV)
* Changing the language tracks to Spanish on DVDs
* Attending any Hispanic cultural events where lots of people will be speaking the target language. Hispanic Heritage month is just around the corner. Ask a vendor who's not so busy to help your child pick out a souvenir in Spanish. If there are games or pony rides ask all operators to use only Spanish
* Spanish story time - the Hyattsville library used to have this
* Go out for a Mexican/Columbian/Salvadoran/Peruvian meal at an off peak time and ask the server to help your child order in Spanish. 
* Check out Tumblebooks for free through library websites, they have audio e-books in Spanish
* Sign up for a language class with, say, Lango Kids, so your child is too busy having fun to notice their learning in another language 
* check for a Meetup group with other immersion parents[/quote]
