Dr. Oh Eun-young of "Golden Child My Kid" pointed out Jung Ju-ri's problems.
On the 12th episode of Channel A's "These Days' Parenting - Golden Child My Kid," the story "Comedian Jung Ju-ri's golden five children combat parenting" was revealed.
That day Jung Ju-ri went into battle to get her fourth child to attend kindergarten. But with the fourth child refusing to budge, Jung Ju-ri began to coax with lines like "let's go see the crow" and "let's drink a beverage." Eventually she persuaded the fourth child following a recommended response from an AI consultation.
A struggle for an hour with the child already 30 minutes late. Jung Ju-ri, saying "let's go see the stone turtle," took the child outside and hurriedly dressed them. Watching this, Dr. Oh Eun-young stopped the video, and Jung Ju-ri said, "I can see my own problems. To make excuses, I try to use my phone, I don't act firmly and I flounder, I follow the children around and even turn to the eldest for help. I've seen a lot of that," she said, looking uneasy.
Jung Ju-ri also admitted, "Half the week is a battle over getting them to attend. At daycare they say they're sorry. Because my child goes late, nap time and the schedule are awkward, and we're always apologizing, but it doesn't work well."
Dr. Oh Eun-young praised her, saying, "Right now Ju-ri is trying every method to get the fourth child to go. She's really making an effort. There is one strength. She did one thing well: she doesn't use tiger parenting. Those kinds of things make children experience fear through physical force, so they're not good emotionally."
But soon Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "However, the most important thing is missing. There's no talk that they have to go. That's the core. When 'you have to go' is missing, the rest becomes mere side matters used to distract and send the child off. Unless there's a necessary reason, you should say they must be on time. They may not learn that even if they dislike it, they have to do it."
Jung Ju-ri said she often asks her children for their opinions. She said, "Not only the fourth but the first, second and third as well — I asked them a lot for their opinions. If the children's expressions change, I tend to notice that. It became a habit to ask, 'What's wrong, why are you like that?'"
Dr. Oh Eun-young advised, "Parents who try to be kind often worry that even the slightest sign of displeasure might hurt the child. Some people think listening to the child's opinion is respectful parenting," and added, "You have to compromise well with the child," noting that when you need to be firm, you must be firm.
