Allan doesn't need to worry because his mother raised him to be a kind and loving child in elementary school. He will be very popular in Taiwan, but he must get used to wearing shoes first.👍
Congratulations! Finally you and William will live together. After separation for 7 years, being together in a different country is the most important thing to you to think about what to do next. I think making friends for a teenager is the first priority. And at this age with language barrier it might be a little difficult for William. But as your description about William’s personality, he might overcome it easily. And with your and his mom’s support, it will not a big issue. Do not worry about his achievement in his study, children will show you their amazing ability. Be a nice and gentle guy is much important than anything. So happy for you, I know you and his mom will help him to live here comfortably.
Kids can pickup language very quickly. There will be a learning curve but since william is still young he should be okay. No more different than any other average child in taiwan. Will he enjoy Taiwan...thats a different question. 🤔
Kids have better flexibility then adults. It's a good chance for William to get into the school in Taiwan and if he can go to a pubic high school through exchange program, it'll save lots of money with good faculty at school. (Many schools have bilingual projects). Also, it'll benift a lot for William to build up a good father-and-son relationship. But living in Taichung, traffic for younger kids has to be cautious. Taipei city would be better in traffic .. Anyway, it's good to have William study here. I have some foreign friends who have international experiences when they lived abroad at a young age. Best wishes! 😊
1. Congratz! Excited for all of you and wishing you the most awesome experience ahead! 2. have the conversation (or a few) with him about the pros and cons of public school vs bilingual school - I’d think public > bilingual > international would allow him to pick up Mandarin asap/faster 😂 3. actually a fascinating topic and perhaps you could make a series of vids as you chat with all the possible international/2+cultural/and even Taiwanese parents and/or “kids”who’s gone thru the experience (plentiful of us who’s done the reverse - going abroad when younger).. maybe even bilingual/multilingual parents/kids/educators? 😂 Best wishes on the process and thanks for sharing the journey with us!
Enter him in a local school (if you want him to learn Mandarin), or take him back to England. I see no point for him to go to over pricing international school when he already speaks English. The school and you won't expect him to do excellent academically when he doesn't speak the language. The goal is to let him soak in the language environment for only a few hours a day. And don't worry, kids will bond naturally. And I'm sure you'll enrich his life outside of school. Try and find a local school and talk to them. Manage and have an agreement on expectations for his academic performance.
Sit back and watch the boy enters puberty and becomes a teenager. A role model is a very important for his personality development this stage, I think.
Some interesting songs might help learn Mandarin Chinese. I recommend Namewee's New Year song "The People of the Dragon" Dr.K also said this song is good.👍
Welcome (back) to Taiwan XD Wonder if other will think he is son of Uncle Prozzie and Auntie Kiwi (without knowing William's background story) when they take him to the mall/park/baseball game and share it on their social media/YT (without mentioning William's PA-rents)
Very timely as I was just discussing with my daughter her visit to me. She is 27 now, but I'm still her dad. Her mother and I split when she was around 8 so I raised her as a teen, which is not a lot of fun! but we survived and are good friends now. Being a dad is tough, but it is very, very rewarding. Good luck with you and your son!
As parents, sometimes we just worry too much for our kids. I am not saying that we should have no plan for them, but our kids always show much more potential than we thought. Just make some plans, then let’s see what’s the feedback from William. I’m looking forwards to see William’s new life in TW. 🎉
Allan, having a friendly relationship with your own teenager is the key to open his heart out during this important time change of his life. Try not to over think or worry too much. Just be there for him and with him are what is more important than any others. Parent(s) can often get too busy at their work but lose out the quality time with their kids. It is certainly even more difficult when they don’t live together. Just enjoy your time and treasure every moments. Looking forward to see more upcoming videos you have with William. 🎉
他的年紀千萬不要直接進去公立國中，會整天考試，中文內容對他而言太難了，連台灣土生土長的小孩都會偶爾感到吃不消. 台灣可以自學，自學方式可以跟學校討論只是體育課，美術課，音樂課，英文課..其他課程自學（回家，不參加考試）也可以每週只出現一天. 台灣自學9月開學的4月底要完成申請，或是10月申請隔年下學期. 可以先提出申請，到時候可能用上也可以隨時任何一天反悔回到校園. 台中也有全美的ast 美國學校.
哇⋯完全同意這位網友所說的
如果直接讓威廉上台灣（台中）的公立國中⋯非常擔心威廉會不會被霸凌還是學壞⋯雖然這是任何國家都可能有的問題⋯但是威廉語言不通，沒辦法為自己辯駁、生活不自由天天考試還可能交不到朋友被被欺負不敢跟爸爸說⋯那就糟了⋯
私立的國中規矩比較嚴可能狀況比較輕微（例如衛道、明道）公立的要慎選⋯要預先遷戶籍地址到符合的學區⋯我外甥現在讀五權國中就還不錯、還有我小時候聽說居仁國中是個好選擇。
但是回歸重點這些課業壓力非常非常非常非常非常大的學校每天考試，威廉吃不消，您也不會認為填鴨式教育是個好的教育方式
而鬆散的學校危險多怕威廉人格出問題⋯真的不在南非讀國中就好嗎？
還是很擔心～台灣的國中、高中生活會是最痛苦、最地獄的選擇，回頭想完全不知道6年學了什麼⋯明明出社會只需要加減乘除就好⋯卻要額外學多一百倍的東西而且考試還超出教學範圍⋯這對不會中文的威廉絕對是天天零分的⋯會中文的都可以零分了⋯
我不是說台灣（台中）的教育不行哦，我自己的母校曉明女中當年是很不錯的⋯但是威廉不會中文又是男生，會被欺負（校園霸凌）的可能性非常高⋯
很好的選擇

兒子來台灣終於達成你的願望！既回到出生地就和一般台灣小孩一起上課，不用擔心小孩語言問題，小孩的適應問題會超乎你的想像，融入環境大概半年時間就沒問題了，不用太擔心。有幾個YTR的混血小孩都與台灣小孩一起上學，你可以請教他們的意見。
想要融入台灣生活與社會、增進中文能力，真的要讀一般學校
歡迎 小孩子適應能力很快 船到橋頭自然直 別太擔心 ！
同意！千萬不要小看孩子的能力，每個人都不一樣，小孩子不是父母的複製品，除非父母覺得他辦不到。
恭喜艾倫
不要太擔心 順其自然吧！
別太像亞洲父母 孩子會自己找到出路
我覺得你們只需在他遇到困難時引導他就好
同意！這個見解很酷。
Welcome William come back to Taiwan!
相信臺灣有那麼多熱心的叔叔幫助照顧，
威廉會快快樂樂地長大，不用擔心太多！👍😄👌
歡迎來台灣
不管如何，能和家人團聚成長真的太棒了
英國叔叔，我相信你兒子回來台灣後，等待你們一家的生活，是全新的精彩世界，歡迎威廉回家
感覺你想太多了😂
如果來台灣有那麼多的煩惱，那小孩留在南非就好了，一個月的台灣旅行就好。請不要想把小孩當溫室的花朵養，受傷挫折都是成長的一部份，不可避免。台灣的公立學校不差啊！
適度放鬆你的手吧～
孩子也可以選擇就讀台灣的公立國中，這樣子學習中文也很快，我家孩子讀國中時的同班同學有一位來自塞爾維亞，只會說英文，不懂中文，家長在決定讓孩子讀台灣的公立國中後，學校的校長、老師，都會盡力協助這孩子的功課（有些課程的老師會用英文上課及另外安排輔導課幫助孩子）並且幫助孩子並融入台灣的國中生活
Allan doesn't need to worry because his mother raised him to be a kind and loving child in elementary school. He will be very popular in Taiwan, but he must get used to wearing shoes first.👍
歡迎威廉，希望你能在台灣過得愉快，一方面台灣的國中生課業說實在滿繁重的，加上中文讀寫真的很難很難，實在有點擔心適應能力😅，但不論如何給予祝福，加油加油！
恭喜~恭喜~~ 父子團圓在威廉的出生地 一起過個除夕年了.👍
兒子來台灣，看得出來艾倫非常開心❤希望兒子可以開心玩樂
威廉來臺灣了 ！ 🎉🎉🎉
台灣很多小留學生去美國加拿大小時候也是這樣，英文都不會直接被丟過去。陣痛期是有的，但小時候學語言真的容易多了，長大成人之後你幾乎很難像是native程度一樣。
台灣小孩去國外還會被霸凌，外國人來台灣幾乎都不會😂這已經好很多了。大家只會好奇而已，可能還會有人特別照顧他（如果是在一般學校）
如果是在雙語學校那中文應該是不會進步⋯大家都會跟他講英文哈哈哈哈
祝福William未來能夠在學校遇到很好的朋友和同學，讓他可以開心地度過並喜愛在臺灣生活的日子！
要小心交通安全
如果有學會騎車的話
不要在大車側面或者正前方
要讓孩子以最快的時間學習中文，及融入臺灣的社會文化，先去上公立學校讀書
社團可以加入社區的社團
如不能適應再考慮國際學校🏫
恭喜~~
期待
祝福威廉能在台灣過得健康快樂平安~
相信威廉來這邊念書交朋友後
很快他的中文會比爸爸好XDD
期待未來看到更多關於威廉的影片
這決定不容易，希望他可以好好享受在台灣的生活
Allan和妻子對於威廉的愛真的是無庸置疑的
無論如何，你們都做了認為對小孩最好的決定，相信他會懂得
我不知道其他國家霸凌狀況怎麼樣～但是台灣好像越來越嚴重
哇，要來了終於，希望台灣生活不要讓威廉失望，希望他能在台灣開心長大，無論在哪，都希望他能開心，這點比較重要
心願實現。當爸爸的擔心 一個接一個
期待看有William出現的每一支影片
也期望能在台灣遇到善良、親切、有愛心的William
恭喜！！！！這一切得來不易❤💖💗
不用擔心過多，我們有一句古語；兒孫自有兒孫福，你盡力做一個好爸爸，這樣就足夠了! 恭喜! 加油!
同意！沒有人能十全十美，但能盡心盡力。
You better believe uncle kiwi and I are picking William up in a blue truck from school. Not suspicious at all
你可以放心，小朋友的學習能力出乎你的意料之外
不用擔心💪ㄧ切順期自然
恭喜妳終於和你兒子團圓了
你擔心太多了！
小孩最好的能力，就是能夠很快學習新語言，越小越好，
像我表弟妹是美國出生長大，小學二三年級從美國回來過暑假，等到暑假過完，他們已經滿嘴國語加台語了。😂
Everything will be great, don't worry, Allan. 💪💪William needs to be with his daddy (I haven't had that luck). I wish you both the best.😍
Wow! Thank you! 🙏🏿
你是一個悲觀的人，也對人不夠信任，才會都是負面思考，你的情緒和悲觀才是影響威廉最大的問題....
其實他在學校基本上是會蠻快樂....
你最棒的地方是"看法與視界"寬廣.這對孩子的影響"很棒".只有注定遇到的會發生在你孩子的人生路上.看清楚了.就少很多煩惱

以前我國中班上轉來一個外國學生，本來他不會說中文，但很快的不到一年，中文就說的非常好了，交了很多朋友，但功課當然就普普通通。如果Alan 你不會太重視成績，我認為不一定要去美國學校或雙語學校，現在一般的國中學生英文也算不錯哦～
Great ~ 歡迎威廉回家 ! 不用太擔心 小孩的適應能力很強的
要在台灣讀國中,高中,大學建議讀國立的比較省錢 , 如果只有在台灣讀到高中的話還是要讀國立的比較省錢 ,大學可以回到英國讀 !!! 畢竟是英國叔叔的出生地
要有心理準備台灣的教育和西方社會很不同！
MIT就是留在台灣長大🤭😂

Best wishes on the process and thanks for sharing the journey with us!
你太小看孩子的學習能力了！台灣的小孩也從小學英文，只要他們願意一起玩一起上課，基本上，威廉學一年後的中文程度就會贏過你！！！
喜歡William!!他的表情非常純真 尤其喜歡打赤腳,讓我非常驚艷,讓我更相信你夫妻對家庭教育的正向!!💞
真心為你們開心❤
不用擔心，孩子們的學習能力是很強的！這點YTR「莎白」與她的雙胞胎妹妹就可以證明
Go William ❤🎉I don't think people should judge either way❤
恭喜艾倫，賀喜威廉，太讚了！
You can’t go to nightclub!
Because your son!
Ok!
語言是要越早開始越好學~長大了就很難再學另一門語言~很難講他來台灣讀書是好是壞~但我相信英國叔叔會把他教育成對社會很有貢獻的人!
他學中文一定會比較快😂😂😂想那麼多
Enter him in a local school (if you want him to learn Mandarin), or take him back to England.
I see no point for him to go to over pricing international school when he already speaks English.

學校真的很重要
The dab after blowing out the candles was class
艾倫
不用太擔心小孩會自己摸索找社交出路，他會找到他能夠適應的臺灣生活。
既來之，則安之。
威廉 歡迎光臨 臺灣，天天玩開心。
威廉在台灣出生！
應該有台灣身份証？！
一切慢慢來！
別急！
小孩的學習能力強！會快速融入台灣！👍😄
我們國籍法是屬人主義，血統主義，外國人得申請歸化才能拿到身分證哦！
Best wishes to you and William! Please be strong and you'll persevere!
Wonderful news!
It's very glad to hear the news!😊
Feel free to let us know if there's anything we can do, Allan. 👊
6:43 其實台灣部份城市因工業發展，空氣確實不好，但以我『個人觀點』來說，威廉小朋友的身體肥胖問題對他將來的健康，這我反而比較擔心。
Awesome! I'm glad you can be with your son.
Cheers … I’m blown away by the level of support here ✌️
很期待美國叔叔與英國叔叔合作，
誠摯敲碗中叔叔們能早日相見歡！👍😍🙏
我的外甥女今年應該是小六，她住在新社，學空手道還是跆拳道我不記得了。如果艾倫有興趣的話，可以帶兒子去新社認識新朋友。
So happy for you! That's absolutely awesome.
語言多學一個中文對未來絕對有幫助
父親擔心兒子能不能適應,台灣食衣住行是正常事情😊
不要想太多！不要小看孩子適應能力！我在二十多年前帶著我12歲的女兒移民到溫哥華她很快就融入了！比我還快呢！
你太多憂慮了，要相信孩子自己的能力，威廉也有他自己適應環境的方法
在台灣最好適應生活不孤單的方法不是給他很多課程及活動，而是先找到一個核心家庭，願意每週邀請你們去他們家吃飯玩耍，小朋友很容易交朋友，不用擔心
然後慢慢地這家連同另外的朋友家，然後再熟悉，威廉就有更多朋友
最重要的是這些人際關係的互動不是只把威廉推出去，而是父母跟著去建立關係
台灣家庭是很容易融合的，如果你們也能找到英語系家庭，那麼真的不用擔心威廉，我想他真的是個很容易找到朋友的孩子
恭喜🎉威廉要來跟你團聚了！
William, welcome back to Taiwan. And, I can see how happy your father is .
來台灣的外國人
最需要的是習慣當個弱勢行人
否則將會非常危險！
不確定為什麼台灣的駕駛人不太需要去保護他人的安全，因此請務必讓他理解危險性！
對我知道這就是檢討受害者，但除了自己注意以外目前沒有更有效保住性命的方式了。
台灣的文明，在於言談間
台灣的野蠻，在於道路間
😅同在地球上 , 活到老 學到老 , 別學壞就好 , 孩子是未來的主人翁
雖然適應環境會有陣痛期
但我相信對小孩而言與父母團聚才是最幸福的❤❤
小孩很容易打成一片的～別擔心太多的問題。
$$congratulations
Sit back and watch the boy enters puberty and becomes a teenager. A role model is a very important for his personality development this stage, I think.
有問孩子有想來台灣嗎？畢竟要放棄原本的社交圈，對孩子而言應該不是很容易！
贊成你們的想法成為一個 善良 親切 有愛心的人，這是最重要的～希望他能在台灣順利的長大並且成為這樣的人，
Some interesting songs might help learn Mandarin Chinese.
I recommend Namewee's New Year song "The People of the Dragon"
Dr.K also said this song is good.👍
有時候挫折也是孩子成長的機會，不用太擔心。When I raise children, I always think about A Father's Prayer (General Douglas MacArthu). Even I am a mom 😂
10歲以下，沒問題的，我們長大了也失去高速適應環境的能力，好在正是需要彰顯父親角色的此時，艾倫就在一旁，無論威廉 ( William )有什麼夢想，艾倫能幫助威廉築夢踏實，不負此生。這幾年的累積終於成效展現，威廉已經具有男子漢的基礎了，一切都會更好，感恩！
Allan 高興到看得見😂，放心對William一定是難忘的快樂時光
Welcome (back) to Taiwan XD
Wonder if other will think he is son of Uncle Prozzie and Auntie Kiwi (without knowing William's background story) when they take him to the mall/park/baseball game and share it on their social media/YT (without mentioning William's PA-rents)
Very timely as I was just discussing with my daughter her visit to me. She is 27 now, but I'm still her dad. Her mother and I split when she was around 8 so I raised her as a teen, which is not a lot of fun! but we survived and are good friends now. Being a dad is tough, but it is very, very rewarding. Good luck with you and your son!
多讓前妻出現，有智慧的女性。
Allan is the national pride of Taiwan
William長得跟Allen一樣可愛！！叫他快點來台灣！！他的cute臉是師奶殺手！！應該可以幫老爸招很多桃花😂😂😂😂
Happy for you. Raising a kid on your own will have its trials. But you’ll both be better for it.
船到橋頭自然直,担心是会的.但兵來將打.水來土掩就会过了
As parents, sometimes we just worry too much for our kids.
I am not saying that we should have no plan for them, but our kids always show much more potential than we thought.
Just make some plans, then let’s see what’s the feedback from William. I’m looking forwards to see William’s new life in TW.
🎉
Dream comes true 🎉🎉
Best way to learning in Taiwan is find him a girl friend he will speak mandarin at no time
He will spent three month to be understand chinese with other student in tawain local school !
加油 ! 讓小孩以台積電為目標向前行 ~
我ㄧ直觀察你說話的地點，在我家附近😂😂,同個公園ㄧ直換地方說話。😂
不管你做什麼，從這個影片看的出來你對兒子來台灣有多方面的考量與顧慮，一個做父親現階段而言已經足夠了，最好的辦法就是等到遇到一個問題就看狀況再解決……你已經很棒了😊😊😊
Welcome back to Taiwan. Happy Reunion !
家人都要來台團聚定居台灣了? 恭喜! 兒子越來越有allan的味道🤣
Allan, having a friendly relationship with your own teenager is the key to open his heart out during this important time change of his life. Try not to over think or worry too much.
