How To Raise A Kid With Your Asian Wife

By Mi Hung


I am sure your wedding day with your Asian wife was beautiful! And maybe honey moon was even more amazing! You have entered a new chapter of your life as a married man. Sooner or later, you will need to talk to your new wife about raising the baby.

So you want to know what kind of things you should pay attention to for raising babies with your wife. Not surprisingly, if you ask your wife opinion about it, she will basically just follow her mother's advice. In fact, it's not only about parenting, but there are more things to consider. Let me show your some key points here.

Asian wife will usually go along with her parent's wish. As you may have heard about it, most Asian wives are more likely to just follow her parent's advice. It's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. I understand it's not very common in the western culture. But remember, you are married to an Asian family. You need to know how to get used to their culture.

Your children are good looking? If you are in Asia right now, maybe you have heard about things from your friends or your wife's relatives say: your children must be good looking! Ha, that's not a bad thing to get started right?

Talk to your wife about the language learning. Your children are likely to have a natural advantage of the language. Say, if your wife is Chinese and you are from UK, then your children can learn Chinese and English at the very early stage. It's a good idea to get your child to be bi-lingual. It's good for your children's future.

Should you your or your Asian wife teach the kid language? Actually this is the first major question after your kid was born. You and your Asian wife apparently speak different language. Although in most cases your wife will be more likely to let you teach the kid language. You should always respect your Asian wife's opinion about it. The better option will be your kid should be educated in the bi-lingual environment. It will give him or her some advantage in the long term.

How to deal with culture different with your Asian wife? You might be get used to culture difference when you were dating your Asian wife, but after the kid was born, more culture issue is coming! Here is the simple one: should the kid go to study at international school or local school? The bigger question is like tradition or value. Make sure to talk to your wife time to time

Actually, there are lots of private school that are pretty much teaching in the western way. So consider this as another option when it comes to education.
