Multilingual Children With ADHD: Should We Drop a Language?

Does ADHD make learning two languages harder? And should you drop your home language if your child has ADHD? Multilingualism specialist Mimi Potvin closes ADHD Awareness Month with what the research actually says, and why ADHD, a language delay and simply being new to Dutch can look the same from the outside. We also get into the school advice to “speak more Dutch at home”, whether Dutch screen time helps, and what happens to your family language plan when it’s the parent who has ADHD. For parents raising bilingual and multilingual children in the Netherlands.
