Thumbs up A different opinion

Well, I have a different opinion.
Some people donīt learn a language easily and maybe these mothers are trying to give themselves a chance to learn together with their children. We learn as children do, but in a much faster pace. Maybe these mothers want to enjoy their children's growth in English and want to use them as their little helpers to do so as well. Iīm sure it would be a lot of fun for them and for you. I believe you should focus on teaching the children only. Face the mothers as your helpers. In the future, in case the mothers really get into learning English, you can form a group of mothers and go faster.
I hope that I made myself clear. In case you want to discuss it further I would love to discuss this topic further on.
Good luck,
Miriam.
