Agree with Samantha. To get them to pick up a language, they need to be speaking it regularly. Do speak to them in English as well at home! If it is hard to have one parent converse in English and the other in Chinese, choose "English days" and "Mandarin days". Example, Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun the family speaks English and tues, Thurs, Sat Mandarin! :)
