@aldredian Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the detailed explanations on the soft shut down method. It makes a lot of sense and I also shared it with my husband. Obviously I can’t test this until the baby starts to talk, but I’m using some of the mindset to have one sided conversation...

@aldredian Definitely not word vomit! Actually there’s so many good points in the reply that I had to read through it a few times to get all the points. I also forced my husband to read it and I think I’ll take some notes later lol I definitely think the “shut down” method is the way to go. I...

@aldredian I like your parents approach! It’s low pressure and sounds fun. I do think some early exposure could be nice but kids can learn things very fast. To speak of tutor, do you hire one for your son to learn Chinese? Are you using any Chinese immersion daycare or weekend classes? I heard...

@aldredian I had some time to browse the websites that sell books in the US and LOVED what I saw. The Jo Jo learning site has very curated books and the quality is super high. The price is not bad either. Some of the equivalent books on Amazon are more expensive. The shipping within US is free...

@aldredian Thanks so much for sharing all the resources! Re switch to English - I still do that unfortunately because it’s more natural to talk that way with my husband. But I know I need to get over it and just talk in Chinese… Great reminder of checking out local libraries. And I really...

Our son is 2 months old and I’m trying to teach him Chinese. It’s very awkward to talk in Chinese right now (my husband speaks English but understands some Chinese) but I’m trying a bit everyday. I usually say something very simple and sometimes describe what I’m doing. I also have a few books...
