Kindergarten to College—Don’t Let Your Child’s Second Language Slip Away.
Your child spoke it fluently. Then school began.
Now, between homework, screens, and the overwhelming pull of the “majority” language, you’re watching that hard-won fluency fade. You fear the door to bilingualism is closing—for good.
This is the bilingual “attrition curve,” and it’s the battle every school-age family faces. But losing is not inevitable.
The Bilingual School-Age Child is your proactive, step-by-step battle plan to not just preserve, but empower, your child’s second language from Kindergarten through Middle School.
Forget abstract theory. This is a tactical field guide that turns you into a “Language Project Manager.” Inside, you’ll get a clear, phased strategy to:
ANCHOR IT (Ages 5-7): Fortify your home against the “Kindergarten Shockwave.” Lock in daily rituals and “gentle enforcement” tactics that build an unshakable family language foundation—even when they only answer in English.
EMBED IT (Ages 8-11): Weave the language into your child’s expanding world. Discover how to gamify grammar, hijack their digital life, and connect the language to their passions (Minecraft, dinosaurs, soccer) so it grows with them.
MAKE IT MATTER (Ages 11-13): Transform the language from a “chore” into a core part of their teenage identity. Leverage fandom, digital creation, and real-world benefits (college apps, travel, secret codes with friends) so they choose to keep it alive.
Packed with scripts, schedules, and “Quick Win” activities, this book tackles the real obstacles: peer pressure, time crunches, and parental burnout. It shifts the goal from impossible “native perfection” to dynamic, functional bilingualism—a living tool for connection and opportunity.
Your child’s bilingual journey doesn’t have to end at the schoolhouse door. Build the bridge that carries their fluency into the future.
