Bilingual

Bilingualism in children and adolescents is associated with cognitive advantages such as enhanced executive functioning and metalinguistic awareness, which may contribute to better mental health outcomes. However, bilingual children may also face unique challenges, such as language mixing or feelings of cultural conflict, which can impact their mental health and require specialised support to navigate effectively.
