沒有用呢,小囡雖很愛唱歌、懂上千英文生字及讀出短句,並能夠自行閱讀ORT等書籍,但每當story time 轉中文 ... Sometimes it is not only what you give her, but also what you do NOT give her (ie. no sugary snacks before meal if you want a child to have good appetite). Since Your daughter's level of English is good already, why don't you try slowly limiting her English entertainment (video & music) while increase good quality Chinese content? Yes, Annie's Beyond is a great example. As long as it engages her, why not?
My boy's first language is also English, as i only spoke to him in English between 10-27 months of age (to avoid confusion). When i restarted Chinese in the afternoon (yes, fixed time period per day), he often ask me to speak in English. I would comply right away so that he wouldn't feel stressed, but slowly seep back the Chinese again in simple to understand phrase when he's in a good mood. Slowly but surely, we are doing Sunday full day Chinese conversation with my 3.25 years old boy, and continues to hold Chinese conversations when we are in a Chinese speaking environment.
Content wise, Chinese 'educational' program is waaaay too boring, and the quality of the 兒歌 condescending. Choose something which she enjoys. Sorry my son is a very boy's boy, so my examples are 'full of testosterone'. His favourite chinese book is about cartoon animals fixing a car, fortunately he like Doraemon videos, and (breaking my own rules of no violent content) i am planning to show him 少林足球 (he's a die hard soccer fan) and all types of 式俠劇 since they catches a boy's attention. The key word here is ENGAGING. According to the seminar i once attended given by a language PhD (who's absolutely witty and funny), the key to learning any language is Comprehensive Compelling Content. Yup, he highlighted the word COMPELLING ;) Good luck!!
