Does this sound familiar?
You worry they may miss out on the richness of Russian literature or never read it in the original
Their Russian pronunciation is becoming less clear, and their English accent more noticeable
They mix Russian and English, and at times it can be hard to follow what they are trying to say
It is difficult to keep them engaged: they quickly lose interest and give up
Your child answers in single words, switches to English or becomes upset because forming sentences in Russian feels difficult
Conversations with relatives rarely go beyond "Привет" (hello) and "Пока" (bye), leaving them without the words to share important stories

Speak Russian with greater confidence and switch between languages less often
