The days of sing-along, and finger-puppet play to learn a new language are long behind us.
My child is an 8 1/2 pre-teen which has proven to be quite challenging to motivate when it's time for his language lessons. Seriously, teaching him when he was a preschooler was so much easier!
However, I see that this is a common phenomenon. I recently read a post from Multilingual Parenting that children learning another language go through a rebellious phase, and the importance of being consistent. So I am not alone!
In today's post I am sharing tips for motivating language learning in pre-teens. This age group usually describes those between ages 8 to 12 also known as the 'tween years.
I've learned by experience that this age is very difficult to engage and motivate.
