Teaching Chinese at Home

[dokomo]

allseasons:

I browsed Dangdang.com many times.. Tempted to order some books for my boys, but my chinese is very lousy.. hehhee.. so, I am very hesitate to order...

Initially I hv \"headache\" when i first visited the website. What I did was I read slowly, got the hang of it and now enjoy visiting the website. U can try it too.

Busymom, I wrote to the same email address previously too. Received reply from them each time.

Thanks Dokomo. Maybe I need to read it slowly like you... otherwise, really felt headache after that :oops: But, I think Dangdang is very good resource for chinese books..

Thank you, dimsum, tamarind and Dokomo, for all your replies. I finally received a reply from dangdang, asking for verification of my credit card. Hopefully, the status could soon be changed to verification complete and shipment out.


Perhaps my first two enquiries were not made at the right place on the website.

Hi Tamarind,


I finally got my AMEX card but still facing problem with ordering.
I am at Step 3: 填写核对订单信息 & whenever I keyed in the verification code, it doesn’t accept but just prompt another set of new code.

Do you face such prob? What should I do next?

TIA

Hi tamarind, I have read the 好妈妈胜过好老师 and like one of this parts: 不陪”才能培养好习惯


家长一着急就会替孩子做决定，这是错误的。人的天性是愿意遵从自己的思想，排斥来自他人的命令。所以在培养孩子的过程中，为了形成儿童的自觉意识，也为了他更好地执行决定，应该尽量让孩子自己去思考和选择。哪怕是相同的决定，如果它不是来自家长的指令，而是来自儿童自己的意愿，他会更愿意去执行。

Therefore, when DD was back after the supplementary class at 4pm yesterday and wanted to do some other thing instead of doing homework or read a story book, I let her plan herself instead of asking/remind her the school work. She then chose to make a dress for her Barbie doll. I commended her creativity and took a photo for it. DD was very happy and done her school work and Science MCQ (from me) extremely fast than usual. After that she took a bath and enjoying her dinner with a story book and get ready for the 8pm show 食在好源 头and went to bed after the 9pm new CL show. We both were happy and I learnt to be patient, not to 一着急就替孩子做决定.

Thank you for recommend such a wonderful book.

Hi Brenda10,
You are welcome That section also leaves a deep impression on me.

Actually this book is recommended for parents who can read Chinese newspapers easily, since the words are very small and it is a thick book, it may appear daunting to parents not used to reading in Chinese.

Hi Tamarind

Thank you.

I enjoy reading you’re input in this forum as well as your blog. You are very knowledgeable and resourceful. Unfortunately I only started explore this forum in April this year otherwise would help my dd even better. Now I’m trying to 亡羊补牢 and hopefully my dd would be a 黑马 and do well in next year PSLE CL.

Hi Tamarind,
