I'd like to teach my 3y old child some chinese. There isn't any educational TV programs and such that I know of. Are there any resources available (any kind, tv, software, books, etc) for teaching to young kids?

What about sending your child to a Chinese caregiver or bring him/her to a Chinese playgroup. As your toddler gets older, s/he can attend Saturday morning Chinese classes offered around the country. You can ask your local school district or local Chinese Community associations, which you can find in the local telephone book,

Teaching with no talking does nothing.
What is "chinese" anyway? Sounds like you need to learn a bit before yuo think your 3 year odl is going to learn anything. Chinese is not a language. There is Mandarin (mainland), Cantonese (Canton and Hong Kong) and other dialects.
If you want him to really learn, put him in a home with Mandarin speaking folks. If you do not speak it, he won't retain it at all. It has to be constantly spoken to learn it.

Books on tape available for lending at your public library! I do believe they rent out the tape player too.
