Is Language Mixing okay?

January 25, 2010

Should I try to correct my child if he uses Spanish and English in the same
phrase?  My three-year-old son will try to speak to me in Spanish, but will
name things in English.  For example, he might say “Quiero cookie.”  Should
I try to correct him using all English or all Spanish (i.e., ‘I want cookie’
or ‘Quiero galleta’)?  Thanks!
