Many of us grew up speaking Cantonese at home but reaching for English when we needed to say something that mattered. We're raising our children the same way without meaning to. Cantonese for corrections and discipline. English for "I love you."

It doesn't have to be that way.

Everything you need to start the conversation.

JJ, The Story Of Us reader

Love this book, it is such a precious resource to use my own language with my child. I find naming emotions is very useful for my child to express themselves and reduce tantrums, as they are able to communicate how they feel with words.

Nicole Yang

Such a beautiful and thoughtfully made journal. I’ve been enjoying filling this out with my daughters - I love that there is both Chinese, jyut ping and English translations for the ABC in me. I love the zippered pouch it came with. Thank you Becca for helping me create space to discuss these topics close to my heart in Cantonese!

Judy, Social Services Professional

We need more Cantonese parenting books like this! I appreciate all the thoughtful activities and conversation prompts that will help you and your child emotionally connect and to teach them emotional literacy. I am actually not a parent, but find this book useful in my line of work in Social Services and in working with children/parents from the Cantonese speaking community!

The person behind every page.

Hi! I am Becca. I created Cantonese4Parents because I felt the gap myself, between what I wanted to say to my daughter in Cantonese and, the resources that simply weren't there.

I hope you find something here that speaks to you. And if you ever need anything, feel free to reach out.

Cheers, Becca
