1. Speak Chinese with your kids at home. If they lack a language environment (English at school and at home), how can they have any interest?
2. Different children's personalities will require different methods. By chance, both my kids went to at 100% Mandarin kindergarten (no English, no Cantonese) until 4 to 4.5 yo, but it didn't preclude my older one from disliking Chinese. She doesn't mind listening to stories and conversing, but it is a very difficult language for her to learn to write and read. I have learned to relax. I hire a Mandarin tutor and we have discussed the best ways to go about. Her lesson is comprised of story telling, a basic textbook for her to follow the curriculum, then learn to read a book/story that she likes. With patience, she is making slow but steady progress. I started her off to learn Chinese characters (reading only) at 4.5. She is almost eight now, but she has only been able to grasp some fundamentals during the last year.
3. With my younger one, I have much better luck. He doesn't think learning Chinese is a daunting task, so he is much more receptive. In fact, I can easily put him back in a LS P1 if I want to come this September (he is 大仔 if he he joins LS P1) and he wouldn't have a problem.
So with my older one, 我真係物方法都試過. private tutor, group class (3 to 4 kids), teaching her on my own. 漢字五百, 四五快讀, Dora in Mandarin, 叮噹 (she likes this series immensely, so we are teaching her to read), storybooks with pinyin to guide her in reading, audiobook companion (I recently found a Mandarin Martine series with pinyin and audio, so I let her listen to it while reading), and of course, reading chinese story books to her myself. I have even gotten our private tutor to teach me the rudimentary of pinyin so I can read stories to them to a certain extent. She is easily discouraged, so I don't want to emphasize on her level. I want to sustain her interest.
個人意見, 同我個女掙扎左咁耐, 如果學校係教簡體嘅, 而小朋友本身對中文已抗拒, 唔好為左家長個人對繁體情感而要小朋友係學校學簡體, 返屋企學繁體, 咁只會增加小朋友loading, 學得更差. 實際來講, 讀得is, 你唔會期望個小朋友做中文文人卦? 夠用就得. 繁體可以有機會教下佢讀, 但寫真係寫簡體容易好多. 而家新一代個個中文輸入都用拼音, 之後繁簡互轉按一個制就得. 當然如果你個小朋友無所謂, 兩樣拼行都無不可. 我家老二其實可以兩樣拼行, 但係我睇過佢地學校個中文syllabus, 雖然及唔上LS, 但都唔淺, 如果學校教得超容易, 咁就話冇所謂姐,但學校都有一定程度, 佢都要追得上. 我唔想佢讀到咁辛苦, 比佢讀IS其中一個主因真係homework load, 所以係我立場, 唔想佢學兩種系統. 只係會係認字讀書時, 有時會比佢讀下繁體就算.
仲有, 香港好睇嘅課外書唔多, 要睇書, 真係要台灣大陸. 台灣書好則好, 但到你小朋友大d, 唔再睇咁多繪本, 你就會發現台灣注音對小朋友學習係冇用, 因我地唔係學佢地個套. 係大陸買簡體, 有好多注音版, 我都買左一大堆, 起碼小朋友可以自己睇下, 又或要求佢讀下比你聽.
