Inhalt:
Many children are born into families where parents speak different languages to them. Karin was born in Portugal and taken care of at home by her mother, who spoke Portuguese to her. Karin's father spoke Swedish to her from the start, but was usually not home during the day. As a young infant Karin was very happy to have her father come home after work and play with her. At around age 4 months, something changed. As usual, Karin would be in her mother's arms when father came home, and mother spoke to her husband in Swedish. But for a few weeks, Karin did not immediately show her usual joy at her father's homecoming. Instead, she "froze up" and looked at her mother's mouth with a disquieted frown, and refused to cuddle either parent until her attention was led away to something else (Cruz-Ferreira, 2006, p. 62; two other infants described by Cruz-Ferreira showed the same pattern at around the same age)
