Words of Affirmation for Bilingual Children
Today I came across this great Spanish/English printable for parents raising bilingual children. It’s from an awesome bloguera, Unknown Mami and it’s basically a list of words and phrases for praising your kids in English and in Spanish.
I love this! Mostly because I do praise my daughter in both languages and sometimes I sit with my husband brainstorming more praises in Spanish. It’s so important to be able to praise your child in both languages and give them that sense of pride and accomplishment. :)
I love that something like this was made into a printable because now I can hang it on the fridge and show her how special she is! I’m even thinking about getting more refrigerator magnets so we can create these words together too. I did find some Spanish Alphabet Magnets on Amazon. I think I’ll make a project out of this. ;)
To download this list of bilingual praises for your little ones, visit Unknown Mami and print your own. :)

Thank you for sharing this.
@UnknownMami Thanks for creating it. :) Definitely don’t want anyone to miss out on having it. So funny that your MIL helped inspire this. We should send her some cookies…lol. ;)
Love it, we are always struggling to find Spanish words too. I’m printing this one for sure. Gracias!
@Growing Up Bilingual Great! We have this up on our fridge. :)
