Language is an important facet of communication, and particularly is a source of closeness and cohesion between parents and children. Studies have shown families that do not have the same preferred language are not as close or communicative as those who do. Additionally, many immigrant parents view language as an important cultural cornerstone and that their children may lose touch with their heritage as their native (parent) language fluency decreases.
