I would like you to try this video dialogue with your child. Even you can try it yourself so you can engage your child.
I assure you that after two weeks, by following my methodology, your child will be able to respond to the following questions , in French, in complete sentences.

After reading the English version to understand the content of the dialogue and feel more at ease with its meaning, just follow these steps:
1. Listen to the video once without seeing the words and without repeating. Just listen.

2. Listen to the video once and repeat after the speaker without seeing the words.

3.Listen to the video and repeat while viewing the dialogue. Do that 3 times: listen and repeat.

4. Listen to the video and repeat ALOUD for 5-10 minutes a day for a week.

5. After a week, divide the dialogue into three or four sections, and try to ask the same questions the characters ask each other and respond to them. If you find it difficult, listen to the video again.

6. Once you feel comfortable reading the dialogue and imitating the characters, try to respond to the first 5 questions listed below. If you can respond to more, go ahead. Then do 5  questions more until you finish responding to the 20 questions.
Challenge yourself. Respond to the questions with intonation and in complete sentences. Taste the language. Feel it. Live it and enjoy it.

7. Put these questions to your mother/father/ sibling or even to yourself and respond to them aloud.

8. Read the dialogue alone, aloud, or with someone else.

9. Record yourself and listen to yourself. laugh at yourself and judge your reading. Do you feel you can do better? Go ahead and record yourself again.

10. Become the characters yourself and read the dialogue without using the video at all. If you remember the text, recite it aloud and taste/feel/enjouy and be proud of your progress.
This is the ultimate goal parents wish their children can achieve in learning a second language.
