[quote=Anonymous]No direct advice, as it looks like PPs have it covered, but just chiming in with support. We have two bilingual kids, in DH's native language, and it's my mother who rolls her eyes and disparages my children's non-English language. I've learned that I'm not going to change her mind on the subject, but I've made it very clear that our family believes in the value of bilingualism, and we are not interested in debating it. Don't back down, and keep promoting your language to your daughter. Aside from to cultural connection, bilingualism has so many benefits for children. Even if she never gains fluency, the act of mentally separating the two languages as a toddler strengthens her brain.[/quote]
