The study tried to establish the cognitive, emotional, and social effects of bilingualism among children aged 6-12 years in 20 different families, equally divided into bilingual and monolingual households. A mixed-methods design approach was considered; data collection was made through cognitive tests, self-report questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews to measure the multidimensional effects of a bilingual upbringing. It tends to show, in line with the previous studies, cognitive advantages in bilingual children. However, this report drew attention to potential language delays and a requirement for adaptive educational strategies. Potential higher resilience and increased ability to feel for others were identified for emotional strains for bilingualism. The study emphasises that longitudinal studies are needed, considering that the current complex link between bilingualism and child well-being is still unclear.
