Yes, you CAN help your child love reading in Chinese. Here’s how.
As parents, we do our best to not only give our children what they need, but also to make them happy. Their happiness is our happiness! Anything that stresses them stresses us out, too—including “having to” learn Chinese for kids. What can you do when you know your schoolgoing child has to learn Mandarin, but he just doesn’t seem interested? Or, she might find it boring or difficult, and be discouraged by the extra effort she has to put in compared to her other subjects at school. Don’t give up—there are ways in which you, as a parent, can help your child develop a Chinese reading habit like no one else can. The bond between kids and their mums or dads is especially powerful in learning Chinese for children, and is the secret to sharing many happy and tender moments “wanting to” read in Chinese, together. If Mandarin isn’t your first language, or you don’t speak it very well yourself, parents could use this time as an opportunity to keep your child company, cheer each other on and learn together.
