Above all—make sure they feel comfortable with bringing the language they speak in school and with friends into your home. My parents spoke Dutch to me, exclusively, while my entire life outside of my home was in English. I could not express myself to my parents and it was excruciatingly difficult. There has still not been a resolve to that issue and I am quite distant from them today.
