Abstract
The phenomenon of raising children bilingually from an early age has attracted increasing attention in contemporary pedagogy. Early bilingualism is associated not only with linguistic competence but also with cognitive development, cultural awareness, and enhanced social adaptability. This paper explores pedagogical strategies, theoretical frameworks, and practical challenges of bilingual upbringing. It argues that fostering bilingualism in early childhood is a long-term investment in a child’s intellectual, emotional, and professional growth.
