I'm a tutor, my student doesn't like English
I am a private tutor for a Taiwanese student who is 3 years old. The parents want me to basically play with the kid using English (to get him used to it), but I've recently started noticing that the kid doesn't like it when I speak English. I am aware that this is a common problem, children not liking a second language because they don't understand the person they want to talk to, this is to be expected. However, I've never taught a student this young before and am seeking advice on how to "reel" him back into learning English.
The thing is, it's not that he's completely closed the door on using English. He just came back from a trip to Thailand, and his parents tell me that because the kid knew nobody there understood Chinese, he tried to use English. I've already tried to make it known to him that I understand him better if he were to use English, but he started shutting off again.
Student personality: highly energetic, likes roughhousing
