About JinglePandieKids
Helping families raise bilingual children—joyfully and naturally.
If you’re on a bilingual parenting journey and wondering how to raise a bilingual child to speak Chinese in an English-dominant environment, you’re not alone.
JinglePandieKids was created to help families like yours make Chinese learning fun, natural, and stress-free—no matter your fluency level or educational approach.
At Jinglepandiekids, we believe Mandarin learning should feel natural, joyful, and deeply connected to real family life.
Instead of memorising words from flashcards, children learn through play, movement, and meaningful interaction with their parents.
Whether your child attends school, learns at home, or follows an eclectic path, you’ll find support here.
Language is more than words—it’s a bridge between generations, cultures, and hearts.
Our play-based printable, videos and toolkits are designed for modern bilingual families and homeschoolers—helping you weave Mandarin into daily routines and emotions, one moment at a time. Because language grows best where love and connection live.
Start where you are. Speak with love. Learn together.

About Founder Jingle
Hi, I’m Jingle!
I’m a mother, a bilingual parenting advocate, and an immigrant raising a trilingual child in the UK.
Born and raised in China, Mandarin is my native language—but I know that passing it on in a new country is a journey full of challenges.
Like many immigrant families, I once struggled with doubt:
“Will Chinese confuse my child?”
“Should I prioritise English?”
“What if I’m not consistent enough?”
I’ve tried, paused, failed, and tried again. Through trial and error, I’ve discovered that the key to raising bilingual kids isn’t perfection—it’s connection.
I created JinglePandieKids to share tools and inspiration for families who want to bring Chinese into their daily lives—whether you’re fluent or learning alongside your child.
At JinglePandieKids, we believe raising bilingual kids is not about perfection—it’s about creating meaningful connections through language, play and love.

The “Why”
I believe language is more than a skill—it’s a way to connect with loved ones, understand our history, and express who we truly are.
When my daughter was a toddler, I stopped speaking Chinese for a while, worried it might confuse her. But I soon felt something was missing.
I remembered families who told me:
“I wish I hadn’t stopped speaking my language.”
“Now my child can’t talk to their grandparents.”
That’s when I decided: I won’t wait for perfect conditions. I’ll start where we are.
I’ll speak with love and consistency—even if it’s just one phrase at a time.
Now, I want to help other families feel empowered to do the same—with bilingual resources, simple conversation guides, and encouragement rooted in empathy and lived experience.
Whether you’re homeschooling, unschooling, or just trying to make the most of weekends, this journey belongs to you too.
NEVER TOO EARLY TO START, NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN.
I know how it feels to be caught between two worlds or among three worlds. As an immigrant parent, I want my child to thrive in her English-speaking environment, but I also don’t want her to lose her connection to her roots.
I saw other parents speaking their native languages with their children effortlessly, and I felt a pang of regret. I met families whose children had grown up unable to communicate with their grandparents, and I saw the pain in their eyes.
I realised that raising a bilingual or trilingual child is not just about language – it’s about preserving family stories, cultural identity, and deepening connections.
This journey is not always easy. There will be resistance, doubts, and moments when you question whether it’s worth it. But when your child proudly says their first word in Chinese, sings a nursery rhyme, or shares a joke in your heritage language, you’ll know – it is worth it.
