Abstract

In this chapter we explore the perceptions and practices of US bilingual or multilingual families with young children, focusing mostly on research with families from Latin American backgrounds and paying close attention to the intersection of language, culture and emotion. We describe who is bi or multilingual in the US, examine why and how US families choose to raise children bi or multilingually, and explore how families use their multiple languages as a child-rearing strategy.
