We make sure our daughter's daycare photos include both sides of her heritage and we plan to continue it as much as possible in the public edumacation system too going forward:

Hmong is still not very well-known in the grand scheme of things so every opportunity I have to educate others about Hmong, I do it... O0

Do you teach your daughter Hmong or Chinese, both?

That’s great!

Our roots, our homes, our customs, should be taught to the children.

Yep, it's difficult as the English language is so dominant but we still try our best to teach her Hmong and Mandarin.

Nice! How about the parents, do you continue to learn Mandarin and does your wife continue to learn Hmong?
