Hi, my girl is able to imitate the actions from the Action Words after a few tries. She's 2 though, started slightly late.

Maybe you should try showing the cards that the child seems more interested with.

Hi there,

To answer to your questions:
1) It's always easier to teach simplied chinese, given that traditional chinese has alot more strokes
2) You can expose her but I don't think she will be able to hold a very good conversation in Mandarin since she won't get to use it on a day-to-day basis
3) Do you have access to Chinese Educational Software or Audio CDs? It might help in getting your child's pronunciation right

My 2 cents worth.

My boys are literally glued to the TV and loved to watch the cartoons that we bought for them on DVD.

But after reading this post by tatianna, think it's time to stop.

Anyone has any idea what I can do with my boys (aged 6 and ? They do have short attention span, and are quite 'violent' in a sort of way. I've thought that they were boys, and it was their nature to be sort-of aggressive.

My boys are now sleeping in their own room. My only problem is the little princess (she's 2 now) who refuses to sleep on her own. She sleeps with us and is very close to me though.

We bond very well as a family, but I might want to get her to sleep in her own room very soon.

V How many children do you have and how old are they?

Hi, we will be celebrating halloween at granny's place.

And it has been sometime since we ever had a get-together.
My boys will be dressed up as pirates while my girl will be the fairy.

Hi everybody!

I am a Daddy of 2 boys and 1 girl and this is an interesting site.
