An elementary school third grader nicknamed Geumjjok, whose idol-level looks drew admiration, is living a precarious daily life because of impulses he cannot control, evoking sympathy.
On the 17th at 9 p.m., Channel A's "These days parenting – my child like a gem" will reveal an extraordinary story about a son who suffers from ADHD and a mother with ADHD who cannot understand her son.
That day in the studio, Geumjjok, who surprised everyone with his warm visuals, appears. But in daily life, Geumjjok has become a 'problem child' who continuously draws complaints at school and academies. In particular, during a writing and reasoning class his concentration collapses, he slams his desk, and he shows bizarre behavior by being unable to hold his body up to the point that narcolepsy is suspected, leaving everyone puzzled. Watching this, Dr. Oh Eun-young offers the shocking analysis that the "brain does not wake up," pointing out a hidden side of ADHD.
Tension reaches a peak with a suspected kleptomania incident. When items belonging to classmates at the academy went missing, Geumjjok, who had a prior record, was accused as the culprit. Under the mother's interrogation, unidentified items pour out of Geumjjok's pockets, and Geumjjok cries out, "I can't control my impulses," turning the studio into a sea of tears.
But there was a twist. Footage captured the mother appearing distracted and flustered while doing housework. Under the pressure of the mother's scolding over an errand, Geumjjok even has a urinary accident. Dr. Oh points out the mother's lack of emotional attunement and delivers the shocking diagnosis that "not only Geumjjok but the mother also has ADHD."<
