Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss the thematic analysis of the six case studies presented in the previous chapter. I examine the role of language attitudes and preferences in childhood bilingualism and highlight the holistic and individual nature of young heritage speakers’ bilingual experiences. Finally, this chapter concludes by discussing the impact of particular FLP on children.
