oldest / youngest 大家好! I am pretty sure that "这是我最大的孩子。" means "This is my oldest child.", but I would also be happy to learn if I'm wrong. :) I am not so sure about the opposite. Would "这是我在小的孩子。" be correct for "This is my youngest child."?

Yes you are absolutely right.But if you say as below,you sound more like native speaker. 这是我大儿子/小儿子(This is my oldest/youngest son),这是我大女儿/小女儿(This is my oldest/youngest daughter). Or 这是我长子/长女(This is my oldest son/daughter)，这是我幼子/幼女(This is my youngest son/daughter) People might think you are a China hand since长子，长女，幼子，幼女come from Classical Chinese（文言文）. Haha Hope this helps.
