Raising a Multilingual Child

Hey guys, wondering if you are cross-culture parents, do you have any troubles including your native language and culture in your children's lives? And what are the methods and materials you're using to teach languages to your children?

One of my closest friends recently became a dad with a just 3-week old baby. While his excitement is palpable, he and his wife are also fixated on raising the baby with English, plus their native Spanish and Vietnamese, so the baby can communicate with their families. They settled on the one parent, one language method but good reading materials are scarce. Being trilingual ourselves, we are perplexed that not enough attention is being paid to toddlers—when it's proven they can soak in languages faster than we can.

I'm interested in hearing everyone's take on this.
