Here are some ideas to for preserving Chinese culture in your home.
- Do the month aka zuo yuezi - Learn how to be a mom the Chinese way, from your family with love, support and nutritious food.
- Celebrate 100th day birthday for your baby
- Celebrate 1st birthday and play the plate game
- Celebrate Chinese New Year
- Speak, read and listen to Chinese at home
- Hire a Chinese nanny to help you foster Chinese culture in your home. I went a step beyond and matched my daughter's Chinese astrological sign to my nanny's. Both are born in the year of the tiger!
