Is Korean mothers the best at loving their children?! The modern version of the revival of the three thousand teachings of a mother? A mother goes for her child's success?! Second grader Eunsol's dream is to become a great figure skater like Yuna Kim. For Eunsol's dream, Kyunghee Han transports Eunsol from Chuncheon to Seoul. Eunsol's friend, manager, teacher, and driver, Kyunghee Han's roles for Eunsol are endless. Investing all her time for her child, Kyunghee Han says that Eunsol's dream is her own dream. Kyunghee, a mother who sacrifices everything for her child. Her appearance is what we call a 'mother' in Korea. Where does Korean maternal love, 'the power of mothers', scientifically revealed come from? The first look into the 'brains' of Eastern and Western mothers in Korea Women are weak, but mothers are strong. It's ironic. No woman in the world is born a 'mother'. So why on earth? When they become mothers, do women become 'super moms' who can do anything for their children? Where does their superhuman 'motherly power' come from? Korean mothers who are said to be second to none when it comes to their children's love? Is the 'motherly love' of Korean mothers really the best in the world? Is there something special about 'Korean motherhood'? In the documentary Prime [Mother Shock], we looked into the 'brains' of Eastern and Western mothers to find out the source of the 'motherly power'. The first-ever comparative maternal experiment between Korean and American mothers. Is there something different hidden in the maternal love of Korean mothers? Mother, a child lives in the brain?! The recent trend of 'eomchin-ah' and 'eomchin-daughter' has given rise to numerous new words. Bu-chin-nam, a-chin-nam, ddal-chin-ah, yeochin-nam... These new words derived from 'eomchin-ah' are all a phenomenon that clearly shows how Koreans constantly compare themselves to others and have a desire for recognition oriented toward others. From the old proverb 'My stomach hurts when my cousin buys land' to the greed of mothers who say 'My child should go to Seoul National University too', where does the psychology of Koreans constantly comparing themselves to others come from? Why do mothers constantly compare their children to their "mother's child"? Is the child who lives in the mother's brain and is constantly compared to other children, the real child living in the "mother's brain"? Let's find out the truth through brain science. The child is me, I am the child, and mothers who take care of the child's failures Humans have developmental tasks to perform at each stage. Failure is a natural and positive gateway that we must go through at each stage of development in order to grow healthily, and it is not something that mothers can do for us, but an opportunity and a right for the child. However, most Korean mothers are afraid of their children's failures and are taking away their children's opportunities to fail. Waiting mothers vs. taking care of mothers Korean and American mothers with children in the third and fourth grades of elementary school played a word puzzle game together. The mothers who participated were told that it was an experiment to compare the vocabulary of Korean and American children, but in reality, the experiment was an experiment to find out the differences in how Korean and American mothers deal with their children's failures. How did the Korean and American mothers react while their children solved the three word quizzes given? The results of the experiment showed a noticeable difference. When Korean mothers faced a difficult problem for their children, most of them wanted to solve it for them, and eventually the experimenter took their place and helped them solve it. American mothers waited until their children solved it on their own. What is the effect of the difference between mothers who wait and mothers who help on their children? Is this difference simply due to cultural influence? ✔ Program name: Documentary Prime - Mother Shock ✔ Broadcast date: 2012.04.02 #DocumentaryPrime #MotherShock #MaternalLove #WrongMaternalLove #Adolescence #Childcare #Adolescence #KoreanMom
