Supporting My Billingual Child with Michelle Kavanagh

Season 1, Ep. 15

During this episode I speak with Michelle who shares with us the challenges that she experienced as she transitioned to parenthood, and in particular how she found her own intuition after being conditioned for many years to follow the evidence, and constantly seek out others opinions and evidence before making any parenting decision.


She talks about bed sharing, long term breastfeeding, along with bringing up her child to be bilingual.
