Speaking Several languages with your Child
Do any of you speak three or more languages with your children? I am a native Korean residing in the USA, and sometimes I feel burdened to speak several languages with my family members. I speak Korean, English, and sometimes Spanish with my child. Because I am also learning French, it is even more challenging to have a balance.

I don't have children myself but I read an article before that said that speaking multiple languages to your children help develop areas in their brain that improve their emotional quotient.
Because they have to process different languages they have to better understand the context and emotion behind their words which help them understand their own emotions better too.
I also read another article before (can't find the source) but it said it also helps stimulate areas in the brain that control creativity and out of box thinking as well.
I'm not a professional or anything but it seems to make sense that learning multiple languages is more beneficial than detrimental.
here's the link to one of the articles i read before:
