[170816] Raising Young Children 육아

Talk about raising young children.

I am a mom with a three-year-old firstborn son and a nine-month-old baby daughter.

I am on my second maternity leave, after having my second child.

-> child란 말에는 first, second가 쓰일 수 있지만 son에는 쓸 수 없다.

Parents of kids have many things to worry about.

First, feeding the kids is a daily concern. I started with breast-feeding.

Later on, I made baby food. My son has begun eating ordinary food.

However, sometimes he has indigestion, which is hard for him.

-> have indigestion 소화불량을 겪다.

Also, my daughter still wakes easily at night, so I often can't sleep enough.

I am always worried about my children's cognitive development and emotional development.

-> cognitive development 인지발달

Thankfully, my husband is the trooper. My mother lives nearby, so she often comes to help out.

-> be a trooper 묵묵히 돕다.

Of course, I have to get back to work at my job soon.

I'm already concerned about leaving the kids to do office work.
