Bilingual Children have Better Chances of Success in Today's World

Introduction

The paper aims to emphasize on the fact that the bilingual children have better chances of success with respect to future prospects. They tend to have brighter careers as compared to the monolingual children. Bilingual children often start to speak later than their peers, who know only one language, as their vocabulary in each language less and skills may not be enough. Typically, in bilingual family first words a child says the same age as the other children, but the further development of speech may be delayed. According to statistics, the delay of speech development in bilingualism fit within normal development. However experts say - often in bilingual families have children is the general underdevelopment of speech: a violation of grammatical structure, connected speech, vocabulary.

With the birth of a child, the question arises, what language should follow his upbringing. Although bilingual education is a challenge for parents a gift they give to your child is invaluable. However, bilingualism has other benefits. The New York Times published an article about why bilingual people are smarter because it has effects on the brain to improve cognitive skills not related to language, and even protects against dementia in old age.
