BILINGUALISM
Surveys show that in the USA one in seven people speaks a foreign language other than English at home. In the past, second generation children were usually encouraged to adopt the customs, culture and language of whatever was identified as the majority culture. Today, people are much more likely to promote bilingualism.
There are different theories on the best way to teach a child to use two languages. Most researchers agree that a child who is exposed to two languages (at, from) an early age will naturally learn to use (both, them). Children may be expected to go (through) some periods of mixing the two languages, sometimes even within the same sentence.
A separation of the two languages will occur gradually. Children may also experiment with the two languages to create special effects or to express themselves in specific settings. For example, one language may be considered less formal and used for information about events related to home and family, while the (other) is considered more formal and used in activities outside the home.
