The first child on 'My Precious Little One' displayed aggressive behavior toward their younger siblings.
On the broadcast of Channel A's 'Modern Parenting - My Precious Little One' aired on 2nd, the story of 'Survival of the Fittest! The Unruly Five Siblings' was revealed.
On this day, the first child caught attention by asserting dominance over their younger siblings. Upon losing an eraser, they immediately ordered the third sibling to find it, and when their mother intervened, the first child became emboldened and shouted, "Quickly find my eraser."
Later, when the mother went out with the five siblings, the first child began to attack the second child with shoes during their playtime and eventually grabbed their hair and spun them around, causing shock. When the younger sibling retaliated, the violent behavior escalated. However, the mother ignored the first child's aggressive actions, pretending not to notice. Eventually, the second child broke into tears and ran towards the mother, but the mother only reprimanded them for their dirty hands, worrying about getting the five children washed.
The mother lightly skipped discipline for the first child, prompting the MCs to ask, "Did you not see it?" The mother replied, "I did see it, but I was holding the youngest child." Thereupon, Ha Hee-ra asked if the first child might also be a 'precious one' along with the third.
Dr. Oh Eun-young opened by stating, "It seems the first child should contribute a lot. In some aspects, the first child shows a good understanding of the mother but sometimes goes overboard and displays leadership. They had some good traits. However, looking at their current daily life, it seems there needs to be some change."
She added, "The mother placed the first child in a parental position to receive help in parenting. A child should be in a child's position, and a parent should be in a parent's position. The child is not a parent, and when they exhibit behavior of wearing a control band, there should be limits and boundaries set, but those lines were not drawn."
She also noted, "If too much power is given, children without power will develop jealousy and feel wronged. Conversely, the first child might feel, 'My mother trusts and entrusted me, but I am not doing well?' At times, there could be anxiety about not meeting expectations. This is complex for them. Regarding this, even for the first child, it seems necessary for parents to re-establish their roles, enforce prohibitions when needed, and teach them by sitting them down."
