Missouri City, TX

My son has been watching cartoon on his I-pad. Whenever he has the I-pad he prefer other language like Spanish, French, Mandarin etc. Is this normal? I am just curious how he understands?

My son who is 3 and non-verbal has been doing this for a while. He likes to watch his favorite shows in other languages and songs and some random shows I never even heard of. Haha! I don't know that he understands what they are saying, but he does laugh at the funny parts! 😊

My 6 yo is fixated on the Russian alphabet and the chart of animals who's names begin with each letter. He wants me to write the letters too, so I have been learning them. My mother thinks this will interfere with his progress with regards to English. I'm a big advocate of nurturing his interests. The variety of sounds he's learning seems to be helping him with his speech.
