Furthermore as you monitor your child is progressing in learning Chinese and English, it is also your duty to arrange for the next level of Chinese English materials and instruction for your child.

There will also be a lot to learn for parents. It is nice to learn more about bilingualism, about Chinese culture, about learning tools, about motivating children, how children learn and other useful information, so parents can plan better and encourage the kids better. Maybe this extra set of information will help make learning Chinese a little more enjoyable, a little easier, so learning for parents is also a good thing.

I guess a big challenge is also in the implementation. What does one do when the child is feeling unmotivated to learn Chinese or to do that one lesson? It is a big part of a parent’s life, to be "creative" in coaxing our kids to do things that will benefit them in the long run, all according to the family’s set of values, of course.

Yes, it may seem like too much, but taking a day at a time, and some planning may help your child to become a fluent Chinese English speaker in the future. By then, you will think that all your patience will pay off, as another language opens more opportunities for your child that other single-language kids do not have.
