[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, grandparents can provide language immersion? Isn’t that worth a lot, in addition to all the cuddles? Sounds delightful![/quote] This![/quote] But there are too many trade-offs and cons. The grandparents are elderly, OP admits they don't engage, the TV is on the whole time, and the list goes on. The 2.5yr old will be wound-up and full of energy. OP will post back on DCUM that she can't figure out why her kid is a mess, won't nap, and isn't tired at bedtime (um b/c the kid is forced to sit around elderly grandparents' house all day long). The grandparents scolding him (b/c he's climbing up the walls) in native tongue and smothering him with hugs when all he wants to do is run around outside or go to the local play ground and otherwise burn off typical 2.5 yr old energy . I mean if you want your kid to learn your native language then start speaking to him yourself, no? [/quote]
