The inner thoughts of the third child, who exhibited dual personality behavior on 'My Precious Child,' have been revealed.
On 2nd, the broadcast of Channel A's 'Current Parenting - My Precious Child' unfolded the story of 'The five siblings must maintain their hierarchy! The unruly Oh siblings.'
On that day, Dr. Oh Eun-young referred to the third child, who observes the behavior of the first child, ranked first among the Oh siblings, and noted that they are in an ambiguous position, stating, "middle child syndrome."
However, while the first, second, and even the mother were away for recycling, the third child displayed a coercive attitude towards the younger siblings. When the younger siblings did not listen to them, they yelled in a similar tone to the eldest sister, "Look at me! Come here!"
They even knocked the youngest down, causing them to cry. When the youngest burst into tears, the third child suddenly hugged and comforted them, displaying 'giving sickness and giving medicine' behavior. Then the third child slapped the fourth sibling, who is two years younger, pushed them into a corner, and put pressure on them, shocking them.
Eventually, when the fourth child cried, the third child forcibly comforted them, and when the mother returned, they acted as if nothing happened. Dr. Oh Eun-young stopped the video and asked, "When you are with the fourth and fifth, you are very strict. When they don't listen, they cry. And when the younger sibling cries, you suddenly hug them. How do you view that?" The mother of Geumjjok replied, "I feel like if I leave, I will be scolded, so I intervene with the younger siblings and take on the role of a mother."
Dr. Oh Eun-young explained, "Children learn primarily through imitation. However, when children imitate, they mostly follow things that appear good. Of course, if they continue to be exposed to bad things, they unconsciously take them in."
Then she said, "The big sister decides and the third child is following that. There are also things that they imitate from the mother. Comforting children resembles the mother's behavior," expressing concern that the third child lacks a sense of 'self.'
After conducting a drawing test with the third child, Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "I asked them to draw 'a tree,' but Geumjjok drew a tree floating in the air like a balloon. Generally, the trunk and roots of a tree represent self-image, but now they drew a thin and slender tree trunk. The roots of 'self' need to be firmly established, and in that regard, the child seems to be floating and unsure of who they are, which can be seen as their current state."
At the same time, Dr. Oh Eun-young advised the mother, "You are parenting as if you are just passing by. You say, 'I love you!' but because you are busy with household chores, it feels like you just brush past them. Rather than passing by, you should stop for a moment and talk properly. That is quality interaction. That is what needs to be done."
In the meantime, the third child showed signs of not being able to mingle with friends at the daycare, uniquely following only the teacher. When the teacher disappeared, the child immediately became sad. Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed, "The teacher is much more important than peers. At this age, peers are generally much more important. However, it seems the relationship with the adult who plays the role of a caregiver is more crucial. They are sensing, 'How can I receive love from this teacher?'"
She added, "The problem is that when the teacher is not next to them, the child's emotional state begins to deteriorate rapidly, causing them to be unable to socialize with peers and start lying down flat. They are extremely dejected. Just looking at this scene, it could be classified as pediatric depression. The child looks too sad. It feels like they are experiencing emotional hunger. They are starving for attention. They feel dry in love; this aspect is evident." Dr. Oh Eun-young expressed concern that "warm contact, attention, and response are desperately needed. This is lacking for the child."
Meanwhile, the inner thoughts of the third child were revealed. When asked if they have a good relationship with their sister, the child suddenly darkened in expression and said, "My sister is scary. She is always angry. So I always play alone."
When asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' the third child responded, "The fifth child, because mom only likes the youngest. Mom dislikes me. It's frustrating. I want to be a baby," evoking sympathy.
Above all, when asked if they have something to say to their mother, the third child called out "Mom" and burst into tears, unable to continue speaking. They then said, "I want my mom to hug me. I hope she likes me," causing the studio to be filled with tears.
