Inclusion of children from bilingual families in the education system should be considered from a pedagogical perspective because the emphasis is focused on child upbringing and education. The theme of bilingualism is important for social and pedagogical context for the application of new methods and forms of work in the development of bilingual speech of children in families as well as other educational institutions of the formal system. Whether monolingual, bilingual or multilingual the family is one of the most important factors in a child's development with almost decisive influence on the child's personality. The aim of this paper is to show the role of bilingualism in the context of the family as the primary factor of education, as well as the later involvement of the institutional system of education. In the context of this study bilingualism is displayed as simultaneously adoption of the two languages up to pre-school period with emphasis on the method of “one parent- one language”. In each family upbringing of a child is way to raise awareness of belonging to a particular environment, developing an awareness of personal and cultural identity which is especially noticeable in bilingual families in which the mother and father of the child want to transfer their language, culture and history. In order to highlight the common parental misconceptions about the negative impact of simultaneous bilingualism on speech and language development of children this paper presents speech and language development of bilingual children compared to children exposed to one language. Emphasize is on the association between parents success of upbringing children in bilingual environment and their attitudes towards bilingualism. Bilingual education and bilingualism are challenges which are placed in front of the entire family and educational institutions which emphasize the relevance of the theme in wider social and narrow pedagogical context.
