New bilingualism research 2. Bilinguals and social skills

According to this research, bilinguals develop certain social skills earlier than their monolingual peers. The experiments described here are pretty cool.

Of course, I have no way of knowing how this aspect of my son's personality would have developed had he remained monolingual, but ever since he has been bilingual, he has been highly praised by his teachers for his social skills.
