The child did not stop cursing at their mother even in front of friends.
On the 11th, the Channel A program "The Baby Faced These Days" featured a fourth-grade child who shocked those around them by cursing at their mother in front of friends.
On this day, the father had a conversation with the child. However, instead of a firm and strict tone, he jokingly said, "Would you want your mother to have a hard time?" The child did not say anything, but the father calmly continued the cheerful atmosphere by suggesting they play Go.
Dr. Oh Eun-young noted, "I wonder if the child even feels they are in the wrong," adding that "discipline becomes vague and suggests playing or playing Go, so the child does not feel uncomfortable at all." Dr. Oh Eun-young stated that the father's attitude exacerbated the child's problems.
On this day, the child called a friend to their home without telling their mother. The mother greeted the child's friend warmly, but the child turned the friend away so that the mother could not be seen.
The mother asked the child if there was anything they wanted to eat, but the child replied, "Look down. Go away." The child pushed the mother aside and cursed at her in front of friends, threatening her. The friend was taken aback, and the child said, "My mom is usually like this."
The mother, who was insulted in front of her son’s friend, eventually went into the room to avoid the child. By evening, the mother, worried about her son who had been locking the door all day and looking at his smartphone, tried to unlock the door with a key. The son shouted, saying, "The more you do this, the angrier I get," and immediately grabbed a toy bat.
The child again resorted to physical aggression against their mother. When the child's mother tried to take the smartphone away, the child followed her and grabbed her hair. The child's mother attempted to unlock the smartphone password using the child's fingerprint while the father was holding the child.
However, the father said, "Let’s not do this now," and eventually handed the smartphone back to the child. Witnessing this, Dr. Oh Eun-young remarked, "While the smartphone is indeed a problem, we shouldn't treat it like a war. The mother plays the villain, while the father is the good one. The child expresses more strongly to guard against and stop the mother."
Dr. Oh Eun-young stated that the child exhibits oppositional defiant disorder. Dr. Oh Eun-young advised that if the child grows up like this, they might not care about following rules and may engage in antisocial behaviors that infringe on the rights of others.
