Okay, long story short:
My daughter is six (in Kindergarten), and there's a small boy in her class who is half Hungarian. His father is American, and speaks English, but his mother is Hungarian, and speaks very little English, so his father always speaks Hungarian so his wife can understand.
The little boy doesn't speak very much English, and the English he can speak is in a heavy Long Island accent, because that's where his father is from.
With the combination of not being able to speak much English, the heavy accent (I live in vermont, and he sounds different to all the other kids in his class, so they make fun of him), none of the kids want to hang around with him, and he seems very lonely.
Is there anything I can do to help this child? His parents don't seem very attentive, and I feel so sorry for him. :(
Thanks.
