I wouldn’t worry too much about retaining ties with both countries. The kids can’t grow up in both countries equally - I mean they could but that wouldn’t be good for development imho - and you as a parent will simply have to accept that only one country will be the kid’s home.
I mean, by all means take them there and let them see their family etc. but don’t make it a task, don’t have expectations that you can somehow balance things out.
As you said: let them have a passive nationality in their back pocket.
Greetings,
somebody whose parents had that same notion, but tried to force it.
PS: about learning the language, the current consensus amongst child development professionals is that each parent should speak their own language with the kid.
