If I had kids today, I'd try to get them enrolled in the Chinese immersion schools here in San Francisco, or perhaps hire a Chinese tutor. How cool would it have been, as a kid, to know a language your parents don't know, but your friends do? That would have been awesome.
My kid already does this. In fact, she giggles to my wife that "daddy can't understand this ...." in Japanese but then gets rather pissed when I respond in context and in English. She's three. She doesn't realize that I know almost as much Japanese as she does, but considering her rate of language acquisition that will not be true in just a matter of months. Then I'm toast. For life. :)
