The cause of Geumjok's behavioral issues has been revealed.
On the 6th, Channel A's "Recent Parenting: Geumjok is Like My Baby" aired the hidden secrets behind the strange behaviors of Geumjok, a third grader.
That day, when Geumjok's mother tried to discipline him, Geumjok uttered some incomprehensible words. Geumjok surprised everyone by stating that his mother has a boyfriend and seems to like him more than Geumjok, and also prefers money.
Moreover, Geumjok smiled and said goodbye to his mother. However, after Geumjok's mother left, his grandmother and aunt remarked upon seeing Geumjok, "He's smiling now that mom is gone." Additionally, they made negative comments about the mother in front of Geumjok.
Oh Eun-young noted, "The child values both the grandmother and the mother, yet they criticize each other openly in front of him." She added, "It seems like there is a division; the grandmother and aunt are one side, while the mother is on the other side."
Oh Eun-young stated, "The child is extremely confused and embarrassed. From the child's perspective, the person called 'mom' seems indifferent and uncaring, which can only be perceived negatively. After the mother leaves, even if the child feels sad, he probably won't be able to say he likes her."
Furthermore, Oh Eun-young advised Geumjok's mother, "You should abandon the thought that the child can be just left in others' care. No matter how much the grandmother loves Geumjok, the center of parenting must be the parents. You need to solidify this role very firmly."
Meanwhile, on that day, Geumjok's true feelings were revealed. Geumjok said, "I'm closer to my grandmother than my mom," and added, "If my grandmother wasn't here, I couldn't do anything." He then shocked everyone by stating, "If I said I like my mom, I think my grandmother would be upset because she talks badly about her."
Hearing Geumjok's story, his mother and grandmother shed tears. Geumjok expressed, "I'm scared my grandmother will leave," evoking sympathy from those around.
Geumjok shared, "I think my mom doesn't want to see me. That's why I'm sad." He seems to be doubting his mother's feelings. He continued, "I hope my mom loves me. I don't want to be alone."
On that day, Oh Eun-young commented, "We need to return to our original positions. The mother must be the center of parenting, while the grandmother should step back a bit."
The mother wholeheartedly engaged with Geumjok while implementing the solution. The grandmother stepped back to observe, and Geumjok began to show signs of gradual change. Geumjok was seen going to school with his mother, signaling positive changes ahead.
