BR Resource Request: Raising a bilingual child

We're moving to Spain in August and our son has just said his first word, which has really made us start thinking more about how to raise him bilingual / in a multi-lingual environment as we may not live in Spain in 3 years.

Can you help, oh wise Backroom?

Thank you in advance.
