A mother is concerned because her child is growing up in a bilingual household and his English vocabulary seems limited compared to his peers. Of the following, which piece of advice would be both accurate and effective to relieve some of her concerns?

▸ "Early in life children in bilingual households typically have a limited vocabulary in one or both languages, but they know a lot of words overall. In fact, some studies have shown that bilingual children are more advanced in verbal and nonverbal intelligence."

▸ "Bilingual environments can be confusing for young children. It will be easier if you and your family speak just one language to the child until he is two years old, and then reintroduce a second language."

▸ "Children in bilingual households usually grow up to have a more limited vocabulary in both languages, but this is okay because as adults, they will know more words combined than monolingual adults."

▸ "It is atypical for children in bilingual households to have limited vocabularies; you'll feel better if you have your son assessed for a general language delay."
