As parents, we hear a lot about limiting screen time, but what if we could make it work for us, especially when raising multilingual kids? The key isn’t just in how much time kids spend with screens—it’s what they’re doing during that time.
For bilingual and multilingual preschoolers, screen time can become a valuable opportunity to strengthen vocabulary, hear proper pronunciation, and explore languages in fun, pressure-free ways. That’s exactly what we’ve designed Parlini Land to do.
Let’s explore how you can use screen time more intentionally to support your child’s language development.
Before screen time begins, think: what would you like your child to get out of it? A moment of calm? A chance to learn a new word in Arabic or Italian? Reinforce school learning in Spanish?
Choosing apps with a learning goal (rather than random game play) makes all the difference.
Apps that support more than one language allow your child to:
Parlini Land includes 10+ languages, so your child can learn in the languages that matter most to your family.
Sit with your child when possible. Ask questions. Repeat the words they hear. Celebrate small wins, like repeating a new animal name or tracing a letter.
This turns passive watching into meaningful parent time and helps reinforce language lessons long after the screen is off.
After your child learns a word or sound on the app, try using it throughout the day. If they just played a farm animal game in French, ask, “Où est la vache?” when reading a book or playing with toys.
The goal is to create a natural bridge between what they see on-screen and what they experience at home.
When used with intention, screen time can actually support your parenting goals, especially when raising multilingual kids.
Whether you’re reinforcing your heritage language or introducing a new one, Parlini Land makes every tap count.
Can screen time be beneficial for multilingual preschoolers?
Yes. When used intentionally and with high-quality apps like Parlini Land, screen time can support vocabulary development, listening skills, and exposure to multiple languages.
How can I make screen time more meaningful for my child?
Choose apps that are ad-free, low-stimulation, and created with early learning in mind. Focus on educational content that aligns with your child’s developmental stage and language goals.
What should I look for in a multilingual learning app?
Look for features like multiple language options, native pronunciation, structured play-based games, no ads, and offline access—like Parlini Land offers.
