“My Child’s in a Bad Mood Every Morning!”
- be in a bad mood : 언짢은, 기분이 나쁜
Q: “My daughter is very moody. It seems like she wakes up, you say something to her, and she yells at you. I am calm and just ignore this behavior right now, but I don’t know what approach I should take to manage this so that, by the time she is a teenager, her behavior doesn’t spiral out of control.”
- moody : 뚜렷한 이유 없이 기분이 안 좋은// 기분 변화가 심한
cf. grumpy : 불평불만이 많은
- spiral(grow) out of control : 통제할 수 없게 되다.
A: Many children with ADHD are extremely irritable right after they wake up. They might be rude, cranky, or just plain angry. Pair that with their inability to get moving in the morning and you’ve got a super-stressful start to the day.

- irritable, cranky : 쉽게 짜증을 내는 /cf. touchy : 민감하게 반응하는 , 예민한
