Bilingual moms and kids show strong brain sync during play, even in a second language, suggesting language barriers don’t hurt parent-child bonding.
A University of Nottingham study found that mothers and their young children show strong brainwave synchrony during shared play, even when communicating in a second language.
Using fNIRS imaging on 15 bilingual UK families, researchers detected significant neural alignment in the prefrontal cortex—linked to emotion and decision-making—during interactive activities, with no meaningful difference between native and second language use.
Synchrony was weaker during independent play.
The findings suggest language barriers do not disrupt emotional bonding or communication, supporting the idea that bilingualism does not harm parent-child connections and may offer developmental benefits.
Las madres y los niños bilingües muestran una fuerte sincronización cerebral durante el juego, incluso en un segundo idioma, lo que sugiere que las barreras lingüísticas no dañan el vínculo entre padres e hijos.
