[quote=Anonymous]+1 to many of the suggestions about how to instill language. The one thing I wanted to caution is making any sort of issue at all about the food from your home country. At some point, child who rebelled against their family's cultural food will turn into a teenager or college student who will come back home begging for homemade meals. But if it becomes a sort of fighting or ongoing battles, then the food doesn't get wrapped up in warm memories, but rather negative associations of fighting with family, power struggles, etc. Just don't worry about it and know that kids will come back to those culinary roots. I distinctly remember being a kid and wanting the American food over my mother's cooking. As an adult, her home country's food is all I crave.[/quote]
