Ham So-won struggles with discipline after child's third biting incident

Ham So-won expressed distress on the TV CHOSUN show 'Taste of Wife' after her child, Hae-jeong, bit a daycare friend's face for the third time. The incident, caused by boredom, has led Ham So-won to consider changing Hae-jeong's class to protect the victim, Ga-bin.

Repeated aggressive behavior from a child imposes psychological pressure and a sense of social responsibility on parents that goes beyond simple disciplinary issues. On the TV CHOSUN show 'Taste of Wife', Ham So-won appeared to be in deep contemplation due to the actions of Hae-jeong, who bit the face of her daycare friend, Ga-bin, for the third time.

"From neck to forearm to face"... Parenting crisis revealed by repeated aggressive behavior

The incident began with Hae-jeong's repeated attacks on her daycare friend, Ga-bin. According to Ga-bin's guardian, Hae-jeong bit Ga-bin's neck first, then the forearm, and for the third time, bit Ga-bin's face while the child was sleeping. This most recent instance was particularly serious, leaving marks on the facial area.

Ham So-won could not hide her bewilderment while checking the condition of the child's face. Regarding the repeated behavior, Ham So-won expressed her distress, saying, "This isn't the first or second time, it's the third. What am I supposed to do?" She specifically expressed feeling apologetic and embarrassed about having to apologize to the other child's parents, noting that in this day and age, "it feels like I should be kneeling and begging," especially when the other parents are understanding out of goodwill.

The cause of Hae-jeong's behavior was mentioned as "boredom." It appears these sudden actions occurred because Hae-jeong wakes up early and, when bored, wakes Ga-bin up to play. However, the cast members expressed concern, stating, "It is not a simple happening when it is not just once or twice, but repeated consecutively."

"Is she even understanding?"... The disciplinary dilemma faced by Ham So-won

Despite the repeated wrongdoing, Ham So-won revealed fundamental skepticism regarding her method of disciplining Hae-jeong. While she attempts to scold and discipline strictly, her greatest struggle is that she cannot be certain if the child is properly understanding her words.

Ham So-won confessed, "Even when I discipline her, I don't know if she is actually understanding what I am saying," adding, "I feel sorry seeing her hang her head so quickly, wondering if I scolded her too harshly and if she has become intimidated." This clearly shows the psychological conflict parents feel when trying to adjust the intensity of discipline.

When pointed out for her mistakes, Hae-jeong appeared discouraged, but during the process of being guided to apologize, she showed an attitude of trying to move past the situation by expressing regret. Ham So-won felt disappointed by the child's appearance of only feeling sorry in that specific moment, struggling to find the proper direction for discipline.

Discussion of changing classes and the daycare's response

As the situation became serious, Ham So-won discussed the possibility of changing Hae-jeong's class with the daycare, fearing that the victim, Ga-bin, might continue to be attacked. However, the daycare's stance was cautious. The director conveyed the opinion that changing classes was not appropriate, considering the confusion Hae-jeong would experience and her existing bond with her current homeroom teacher.

The cast members warned that such conflicts could potentially escalate into a fight between parents. Along with concerns that "it could become a fight between adults," opinions were raised that if the child's behavior repeats, physical separation or more active measures may be necessary. Regarding these unpredictable situations encountered while raising a child, Ham So-won expressed her sense of helplessness, saying, "Raising a child is truly difficult."
