A multilingual home helps children build stronger connections with family, heritage, and identity while gaining lifelong cognitive and social benefits. Read HPN’s editorial on practical ways to nurture multiple languages at home without making it feel like a burden. Read or Listen Here: bit.ly/hpn-multilingual-home

A child’s brain grows through connection, conversation, movement, curiosity, and emotional presence. Studies show that higher screen use is linked to weaker development in brain regions that support language and early literacy. Screens may provide temporary calm, but they cannot replace the human attention and interaction children need to thrive.
