Yes! Code-switching (mixing languages) is a normal part of bilingual language development. Bilingual children may have smaller vocabularies in each language compared to monolingual peers but often have a combined vocabulary that’s equal or larger. Supporting both languages at home is key.
Talk with your child often, narrate daily activities, read books together, and play! Follow their interests, ask open-ended questions, and give them time to respond. Simple, fun interactions throughout the day build strong language skills.
Difficulties with comprehension can sometimes indicate the need for extra support. Break instructions into small steps, use visual cues, and check for understanding by asking your child to repeat or show you what to do. If concerns persist, consult a speech-language pathologist.
If you notice your child isn’t meeting milestones, struggles to be understood by familiar adults, or shows frustration communicating, it’s a good time to reach out. Early intervention is more effective, and an SLP can guide you with personalized strategies.
Frustration, tantrums, or withdrawal can sometimes be a child’s way of communicating difficulty. If challenging behaviors increase when communication is tough, consider an evaluation. Supporting communication often reduces frustration and improves behavior.
