Growing Up Bilingual: Supporting Language Development in Multilingual Families
Helping families nurture every language their child speaks — with confidence.
Why Parents Reach Out to Us About Language
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Parents of bilingual children often wonder if learning two languages will delay speech — but research shows the opposite.
Our Bilingual Language Wellness Visit helps families understand what typical bilingual development looks like, clear up common myths, and build language-rich routines that celebrate every word — in every language.
Bilingual children follow the same general milestones as other children.
This video explains what development typically looks like across both languages.
Understanding Bilingual Language Development
Bilingual exposure does not cause speech delay.
Children’s brains are naturally wired to learn multiple languages, and “mixing” (such as “Quiero milk”) is a healthy developmental step known as code-switching.
Typical Bilingual Milestones
| Age | What’s Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0–12 months | Babbling, responding to tone and rhythm | Recognizes sounds in both languages |
| 12–24 months | First words, naming familiar objects | Combined vocabulary across languages matches one language peers |
| 2–3 years | Two-word phrases, 200–300 total words | May mix languages within sentences |
| 3–5 years | Storytelling, questions, longer sentences | Begins using languages separately based on setting/person |
Every child progresses on their own timeline. Understanding bilingual milestones helps families feel informed, not worried.
Mixing Languages Is Normal
