Dearcadh na Saineolaithe:
Is féidir le páistí le uathachas níos mó ná teanga amháin a fhoghlaim agus a úsáid má thugtar go leor deiseanna dóibh na teangacha éagsúla a chloisteáil agus a úsaid. Ní chuirfidh an dara theanga aon moill cainte breise ar an bpáiste. Tá fianaise ann go dtacaíonn an dátheangachas le smaointeoireacht theibhí, rud a thacaíonn go mór le páistí le uathachas Bheadh sé tábhachtach go mbeadh teacht ar an bpáiste ar thástálacha forbairt linbh, measúnaithe urlabhra agus teanga agus eile ins an dá theanga atá acu chun gur féidir forbairt an linbh a mheas go cruinn. Tá fianaise ann go mbíonn saol sóisialta níos fearr ag daoine le uathachas atá dátheangach nó ilteangach ná daoine le uathachas atá aonteangach.
Freagraí ó Thuismitheoirí:
1. Níl. Tá Uathachas ag mo mhac agus is breá leis teangacha!
2. Cabhraíonn sé leo tríd bheith níos sóisialta
