Is children's Chinese ability more important than English ability?

Nowadays, many parents want their children to have both Chinese and English skills, but sometimes their children have limited energy and may only focus on one language. Is Chinese ability more important than English ability?

First, Chinese is to accompany children all their lives, which is more important than English ability.

Children are educated by their parents since childhood, because we all speak Chinese, and it is impossible to speak English only to children. Therefore, children are exposed to Chinese from birth, and we can't leave Chinese from primary school, junior high school and even university to work, but English can only be used by some people at work. If the child is young, both Chinese and English are very strong, and they can be exposed to all of them. If children have limited acceptance, they can only learn Chinese, and then learn English according to the requirements of the school after primary school. That's enough.

Second, the people children come into contact with speak Chinese, even if their English ability is not strong, it does not matter.

When children grow up, most people around them are British, except a few families, so don't worry too much even if your English ability is not very good. If you have strong Chinese organizational skills and communication skills, then develop Chinese well, which is the advantage of children. Don't always listen to other people's advice and let children learn more languages, but Chinese will not be used better. This is upside-down black and pink.

Third, in addition to talent, children's language ability depends on interest, and parents can't force their children.

No matter what language children learn, parents should be patient and cultivate their children well, especially children are gifted. Some children rely on acquired efforts, but more on interest. Only by constantly encouraging their children in better ways and communicating with them more can parents make their children's language development ability stronger and stronger.
