[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hired a primarily Spanish speaking nanny to teach my kid Spanish. He learns English from me and his father.[/quote] If you and your husband are your child's primary caregivers, that's great.[/quote] 19:35 here -- we are not. We both work 40+ hour a week jobs. And guess what -- our 20 month old kid is leaps and bounds ahead of his peers in his English vocabulary and he's pretty decent with Spanish too. I don't think his English has been harmed by this arrangement one bit.[/quote] If what you say is true, congratulations. Most of these arrangements don't work out so well from what I see. Hence, the current spike in speech therapy for three year olds.[/quote] Speech impediments have nothing to do with ESL[/quote] What do you feel is contributing to the booming need for speech therapy?[/quote]
