If you are like most parents you will pray that they will someday start talking until they do, then pray that they will someday shut up! :->
Kids always learn to speak differently to different people. The way they say something to Mom is not the way they say it to Dad.

Why not take advantage of that and the presence of native speakers during the time of life when they are most receptive to learning language?
