Raising adopted children might mean overcoming language barriers. Parents who are immigrants or are raising older, adopted children might have to teach them English as a second language. This can be challenging, especially if the parent has limited English language skills, or the child is quite young. Learning a language is challenging at any age, but thankfully, young children are able to quickly absorb new information. The younger a child starts, the more likely it is he will sound like a native speaker when he is grown. There are many benefits to starting early with songs and rhymes. Studies have shown that children who enjoy music, singing and rhyming on a regular basis tend to learn to speak more easily. They have more words to express themselves. They are more confident and creative. Reading and spelling are easier to learn at school.
