Hiyah Rachelmum,


If your kid is young, do separate the different ‘types’ of nursery songs you expose him to.
There are kids speaking in different slangs in one or two sentences due to confusion.
Hanyu pinyin will be a problem later, speaking too and will be difficult to correct.
Just my two cents worth.

Thks auntieM for the tips,
I don load my child with all or everything i found, only selectively or base
on the themes or subjects we are going to cover.
I cant take so much things myself, so will give her time to absorb before moving on to something new,
appreciate your anticipated advice. :celebrate:

A pleasure indeed


I'm one of those closet helicopters, and love to go around guessing which part of china friends' tutors are from by speaking to their kids.

U r the real master!

I am a true-blue Singaporean, more worried my girl
inherits the unconscious la - lo - hor or speaks S-hinese

[auntieM]

:oops: No lah, me agar agar, sarlah sometimes.

Just for fun.
No matter how strict or careful you are, your kid will definitely get exposed to local slangs, be it chinese or other languages.
Bo pian one lah

Hi. I just wonder why 三字经 and 弟子规 is not in the list? What is the diff betwen 弟子规 and 孝经?
I have teaching my DSs 三字经 for more than a year ago, when they are 4 years old. They now can recite chapter 1 and half way thru chapter 2. Only recently, I try to explain the meaning to them. So nowadays, if they just want to play and don't want to read/write, I will say: 子不学,非所宜,幼不学,老何为. They understand what I am saying.

I am planning (oh no, planning for 3 mths liao :oops: and haven't start) to recite 弟子规. Now, I see 孝经. So, don't know which one to go for then.
Anyone knows anywhere conducting 弟子规 or 孝经 for preschoolers?
