highly recommend 'tweedlewink ' dvd.
you can get more ideas from the dvd and make extra flashcards.

how is the language system in your home setting? with two languages and one dialect we can cope, i speak to my daughter in mandarin, hubby speaks to her in English and mother in law speaks to her in Cantonese. I've let her watch Little Pim (Spanish) and Wink to Learn (Japanese) and lately started bringing her to Spanish playgroup, but I dont know how to divide the time. Given that I am also beginning to learn Spanish and Japanese, I thought I'll continue to speak Putonghua to her and squeeze in the words that I know, like Spanish (Mon, Tue, Wed), Japanese (Tue, Wed, Fri).
How is the language system in your home? Please share. Thanks.

Do you know where I can get discount coupon for Muzzy?

it could be due to culture thing too, sometimes, maybe nothing to talk about and just trying to stir up a conversation and talk about kids..
or sometimes, ppl are just being nosy, and sometimes trying to make you feel like you are inadequate parents..

great job aangeles... pls start a blog...

wow, great job aangele!.. amazing.

i used to print out and laminate them and show to baby as flashcards.
these days no time for flash cards, i just use tweedlewink dvd..

Hmm.. I can't speak for the majority of the Chinese but I am Malaysian Chinese residing in Hong Kong, and the Chinese I knew from Malaysia and Hong Kong, do not parent that way. Not in my mum's generation, ( I was not brought up that way, my mum dont call me names,, like garbage or anything like that, though my sister called me lazy bum ). If there is any harsh way in the Chinese parenting , that would be overscheduling. I've met people who schedule their kids to 7 extra curricular activities in a week. Once the kids get used to those lifestyle they actually enjoy it, but the problem is, these kids might not know how to handle boredom and think of things to do on their own.
But the average overscheduling is tuition, and music one or two,, and sports one or two..

dont know about Chinese mothers being superior, but some of the ppl in Hong Kong can really be a little crazy. My colleague's daughter 6 year old, attending primary one in Hong KOng. There are 4 subjects, maths, english, chinese and general knowledge in which she scored  above 90% in all subjects.. and you have the teacher telling her mum,, she is doing okay, still have room for improvement, I hope she doesnt go anywhere during Christmas holiday, she should stay home and do revision..
