This is also a question we discussed in our family. Finally, we reached an idea that we probably will teach American English first, since we can get resources easier than teaching British English.
I think kids who are taught with American English should easily understand British English too, and vice versa. American English and British English are like different dialects of a language. When we learn one, we can understand the other without effort. maybe just a little bit. should be very easy.
What do you think?

We are a bilingual family. We speak Chinese and Thai. We also teach my first daughter English. She is now fluent in all these three languages. For my 2nd daughter, she is only 7 months+. We are trying to talk to her in all the three languages. But I think I will start from Chinese, which is my natice tounge to show her cards or read her books. Not sure if it is a correct concept. Will try to find out answers from the website. It's what I really need. Thanks a lot.
