To our parents and guardians, do you allow your children to learn how to speak their mother tongue or you still refer to it as vernacular?
Research has it that children can learn 3 languages fluently from their tender ages.
Please let’s encourage them to speak in their mother tongue.
It is their heritage.
It is their identify.
God bless our children.”
