My oldest daughter who is 6 1/2 is starting to resist speaking
in Spanish! I always heard this would happen as my children got
older, but it is still sad to watch! I think as children get
older, they start to feel more conscious of their mistakes they
make. I also have to confess we have not been as consistent as I
would have liked. Having a new baby always changes life quite a
bit. It is harder for my daughter to remember all the words she
knew before. We are still trying hard to keep up the Spanish.
One way my daughter does not resist speaking Spanish is through
music! This is why anytime I am feeling unmotivated, we put on
some music in Spanish, then dance and sing together! I am
pleased to have received a copy of the music, Mi Guitarri, from
Calico Spanish curriculum! They have a full curriculum that has
everything you need for an immersion type program for elementary
aged students! I enjoyed listening to the CD that goes with the
curriculum. Click here to go to the website for the Mi Guitarri
CD. Things
