Abstract
This research investigated the cognitive, emotional, and social implications of bilingualism on children aged 6-12 years from 20 diverse families, divided equally into bilingual and monolingual households. Utilising a mixed-methods design, the study employed cognitive tests, self-report questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews to gauge the multifaceted impacts of bilingual upbringing. Results, aligned with prior studies, underscored cognitive advantages in bilingual children. However, potential language delays and the necessity for adaptive educational strategies were highlighted. While bilingualism fostered heightened resilience and empathy, emotional strains were identified. The research emphasises the need for longitudinal studies, highlighting the intricate relationship between bilingualism and child well-being.
