My Daughter absolutely did not enjoy speaking Mandarin, but we persevered and now she is speaking Mandarin quite fluently. (She’s 3) (She’s half Indian/half chinese) How did we do it? 1. Her favourite tv show is peppa- so we only allow her to watch peppa in Mandarin 2. We bought her lots of peppa Mandarin books, and I had her dad audio record reading it. Every night before she sleeps we play one of the audio books and I flip the corresponding pages 3. We bought the alilo rabbit toy - which basically Sings, dances and shares stories in Mandarin 4. We got a Mandarin tutor to come in 3 times a week before she was in preschool to teach her Mandarin and sing Mandarin songs 5. We now send her to a pure mandarin speaking preschool - she doesn’t speak any other language in school but Mandarin :)
You can get your child to engage with reading Chinese comics. There are many materials out there that teaches Chinese proverbs as well. Would definitely go for books than digital
