Parents are frequently concerned about giving their children too much screen time.
However, one teacher has devised a fantastic strategy for making screen time enjoyable and informative for her students.
โParenting hack from a teacher: Have all your kidsโ screen time be in another language,โ sheย wrote on a TikTok videoย of her kids engrossed in their devices.
โMy kids only watch TV/tablets in Spanish.
โNow they both speak Spanish and my younger daughter is almost fluent.โ
She did emphasize, however, that the parent must also learn the language.
โOr your kids will be telling each other secrets and you wonโt understand them,โ she added.
“Let me clarify: my kids have always been exposed to Spanish with music, etc.,” she said in the comments section.
โThey understand what they are watching and love it!โ
Other mothers offered their own recommendations in the comments area, and she was instantly commended for the hack.
โAlso subtitles help with reading,โ one wrote, to which the original poster replied: โI love that!!! Great ideas.โ
โYes! Itโs better for children to learn two languages at the same time if the goal is bilingualism!โ someone else added.
โAnd introduce another language before the age of 6!โ
