The belief that bilingualism negatively impacts a child's intelligence, originating from outdated studies with methodological flaws.

Studies on bilingual children often compared them to monolingual peers who were English-speaking, neglecting the diverse backgrounds and potential challenges of bilingual children.

Recent research with controlled variables has shown that bilingualism does not negatively impact intelligence, and may even provide advantages in specific cognitive tasks.

Contrary to the popular belief, learning two languages simultaneously in a supportive environment does not hinder a child's language development. Instead, it can foster proficiency in both languages.

A child raised in a loving and supportive environment, where both languages are valued and used regularly, will typically master both languages.

The false correlation between intelligence and bilingualism stems from biased research that failed to consider the diverse factors influencing bilingual development.

More recent and robust studies on bilingual children reveal that bilingualism does not hinder intelligence but often enhances cognitive abilities.
