The first grader, Geumjok, obsessed over getting a perfect score of 100.
On the broadcast of Channel A's 'Recent Parenting - Precious My Child' on 4th, the story of a first grader suffering from a fixation on a perfect score of 100 was revealed.
On this day, a mother and the maternal grandmother of a first grader and a five-year-old daughter appeared in the studio. Geumjok's mother shared her concerns, saying, "My eldest son shows violent behavior and tries to be excessively perfect in his studies."
In a subsequent video, Geumjok began to throw a tantrum after losing consecutively in a game with his family. Geumjok cried out, "I'm the only one who didn't score!" and insisted, "I have to keep playing until I win!" He even yelled, "Why did I get it wrong?" when he missed his first answer while studying with his mother, then stormed out, saying, "It's 100 points. I'm done with this!"
Although Geumjok's mother tried to pull him back and have him sit at the desk, he insisted, "I have 100 points. It has to be 100 points!" and demanded that the wrong answer be completely erased. Even after his mother meticulously erased it with an eraser, Geumjok kept insisting, "Make sure to be thorough and erase it better!"
Eventually, Geumjok declared, "I have to get 100 points!" and slammed the door as he went in. Dr. Oh Eun-young observed, "It seems Geumjok is afraid of failure or making mistakes, and he always gets angry in such situations. The most important point is that he particularly has a weak inner strength to handle failures, so he tends to give up or avoid when facing failure."
"He needs to try various new things and grow, but he's so afraid of failing that he doesn't take on challenges. That is the biggest problem," he expressed concern.
