You are missing my point. He is FOUR. Shouldn't he learn English first?
Instead of teaching him two new Spanish words per day, I would rather 'they'

pre-school age, without detriment or delay in learning the primary
language. Personal observations of bilingual people in my own family
(unfortunately I'm not one of them) certainly bear that out.
