Episode Description from the Publisher

One of the greatest gifts parents can give their children is identity. In this conversation with Akiiki Praise , we explore why so many children are losing their mother tongue, why it matters far beyond communication, and how parents can naturally teach native languages at home even if they aren't fluent themselves. We discuss: 1. Why mother tongue shapes identity 2. When parents should start teaching it 3. Simple daily habits that can help us teach the children 4. Raising bilingual and multilingual children 5. Common mistakes parents make 6. The role of grandparents and extended family 7. English, social media, and cultural identity Whether you're raising children in Uganda, Africa, or the diaspora, this conversation is full of practical parenting wisdom.
