What Do Parents Expect? Children's Language Acquisition in a Bilingual Community.
Aldridge, Michelle; Waddon, Alun
Language Awareness, v4 n4 p203-20 1995
Results of a survey of 200 parents attending baby and child clinics in North Wales show that parents know less about language development than about other areas of child development. Results suggest that both monolingual and bilingual parents and their children would benefit from improved information on how to facilitate language development. (43 references) (Author/CK)
