Bilingual families - how to keep language (e.g. Russian, German, French)

[LukaLotte]

Hi
I am struggling with my 4 years old who refuses to speak Russian (I am a native, who speaks to my son in Russian all the time) since he started school :(. I am trying to meet friends and make kids play together, it works a bit but they start more and more speak English to each other as well. I understand that I need to keep on but what is your experience, what would you advice?

Zdravstvyite!

Da, takaya problema v nashei sem'e tozhe est'...
Eto prosto zamechatel'no, chto vu sobiraetes' s dryz'yami i vashi deti imeut vozmozhnost' poigrat'. Nabludaya po svoim detyam, ya zametila, chto esli kto-to iz dryzei otkazuvaetsya govorit' po rysski, to oni vse ochen' dryzhno nachinaut obshat'sya na anglijskom.
