A study is looking into the effects being a translator can have on child development.
More than 18 million children in the U.S. have at least one immigrant parent. For parents who don’t speak English, often times their kids become translators -- or so called language brokers. Su Yeong Kim is a researcher at the University of Texas in Austin. She’s working to understand the positive and negative effects language brokering can have on child development.
