Useful links for multilingual parenting

If you think of parenting your children bilingually or multilingually, you'll have to learn a lot about what it would mean to be a parent of bi(multi)lingaul children. Followings are good links to start with. My recommendation is to read at least 2 or more books specifically written for parents of bilingual family, before you start.

It's quite interesting to see native speakers of Esperanto (a planned/artificial language) -- I'm one of those parents. There are a lot many people who succeeded to raise the children in this artificial language. That's because the parents love the langauge, Esperanto.
