Raising A Child 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.

In most cases, your Asian wife will agree what her mother says. But what you really should pay attention to it when you are having a baby with your new wife. Here are some key points:

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.

What is the advantage of your children? The children of you and your Asian wife are often pretty good looking and beautiful. As he or she inherits the great feature from you both. Actually in the entertainment industry in Asia, you can see mixed race young people are making fairly great salary.

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.
