Actress Ham So-won has shared her unique approach to disciplining her daughter.
In a preview clip of MBN's 'Dongchimi' aired on the 24th, Ham So-won revealed an anecdote about restricting her 8-year-old daughter's meals to correct her lifestyle habits.
In the video, Hye-jung candidly told her father, Jin-hwa, "If I don't bring my notice book, I only get seaweed as a side dish." Jin-hwa asked, "What if you don't bring anything?" to which Hye-jung replied, "I can't eat anything."
Shocked, Jin-hwa confirmed with Ham So-won, "Is it true that she gets nothing if she doesn't bring her notice book?" Ham So-won clarified, "When did I say that? I give her rice, water, and vegetable side dishes, just not meat."
Jin-hwa protested, "Why do you have to do that?" Ham So-won explained, "This way, she knows what she did wrong and will bring it next time. Experts say that rewarding children for good behavior and giving consequences for mistakes helps them learn and correct themselves."
Indeed, a note on Ham So-won's refrigerator read, "If you don't bring both the notice book and homework book, you only get water and rice." Hye-jung, overhearing her parents' conversation, appeared anxious, evoking sympathy. Jin-hwa expressed, "It's right to give her what she wants to eat," while Ham So-won countered, "Rice and vegetables are also nutritious."
Previously on the show, Ham So-won revealed, "It's already been three years since the divorce. My relationship with my ex-husband is a concern. My daughter can't avoid meeting him," disclosing that she continues to live with her ex-husband Jin-hwa, drawing significant attention.
