As a brand new grandma, I pay very close attention when some new research comes forward that may shape the wonderful new life I call my grandson. I read with interest the article, Bilingual Babies' Vocabulary Linked to Early Brain Differentiation, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/08/110829070559.htm
I wonder what would happen if my daughter kept her never-off TV turned to a Spanish speaking channel? Would the background language in the room be enough to provide the exposure to Spanish needed to keep his brain open to sounds in both languages? Interesting question, I wonder if I can convince her to give it a try.
