A son labeled a troublemaker and the mother who could no longer hold her head up because of him had her story revealed.
On the 2nd, Channel A 'These days parenting–My child like a gem' featured a mother raising a second-year middle school daughter and a sixth-grade elementary school son who appeared and opened up about the severe realities of parenting.
That day the mother said "at school, everyone knows him," and revealed that she receives several emergency calls a day from the homeroom teacher due to her son's problematic behavior. The mother said, "My heart trembles whenever the phone rings," and, lamenting, shocked the studio by revealing the urgent calls she received from teachers and apology texts sent to other parents.
After continued problematic behavior, the son was eventually forced to leave school early. Even during discipline at home after returning, the son smirked with a 'pish' laugh and a mocking expression, causing a stir in the studio.
Afterwards, the son notified his mother that he would go to the school's computer lab. On the day he was sent home early for his behavior, when he said he would go out to hang out with friends, the mother strongly tried to stop him, but the son ignored her and tried to push his way out. After a physical struggle, when the mother fell, the son seized the moment and ran out of the house.
The production team chased after the son as he ran away barefoot in a short-sleeve shirt and shorts without socks, but they could not catch him. Ultimately the mother sat down on the road and sobbed, adding to the sorrow.
Panelists who watched this said, "I don't understand why he insisted on going to school that day even though he was sent home early," raising questions. In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young gave a clear diagnosis of the son's behavior.
Dr. Oh said, "This child has a very strong tendency to confirm his existence through power and hierarchy," and explained, "The place where that works best is school." She added, "Even by committing problematic acts, the child feels his presence. He has a strong desire to be seen as a powerful person by his peers, and running out barefoot was also an expression meant to prove he is a 'powerful person.'"
She also said, "That kind of power doesn't work at home. At home he is at the bottom of the hierarchy and his power doesn't work on his mother or older sister," adding, "From the child's perspective, because home is a place where he cannot obtain the inappropriate power he wants, he heads to school where he can confirm that power."
