Lee Sang-in Opens Up About Parenting Struggles on 'My Precious Child'

Actor Lee Sang-in shared his parenting challenges on the show 'My Precious Child' (금쪽같은 내 새끼) airing today, March 14, at 8:10 PM on Channel A. In the episode, he appears alongside his wife to discuss their experiences raising their three sons, aged 8, 6, and 4. The couple has embraced a rural lifestyle for the past six years, which has drawn admiration from the show's panelists.

However, they revealed their ongoing concerns about their eldest son, who has been slower to speak and struggles with social interactions compared to his peers. Two years ago, they had considered appearing on 'My Precious Child' but chose to wait, believing in their child's potential.

Upon reviewing footage, they were shocked to see their son having difficulty communicating and exhibiting unusual behavior at school. The couple was moved to tears when Dr. Oh Eun-young, a child psychiatrist, diagnosed their son, suggesting there might be challenges in the neural circuits responsible for social interaction, indicating a possible autism spectrum disorder.

As the episode progresses, Dr. Oh continues to provide solutions. The family's reunion at a train station, which should have been filled with joy, turned emotional as both the second son and mother were seen in tears. Dr. Oh also raised concerns about the mother's mental health, stating that her depression is currently at a critical level.

Viewers can find out what solutions Dr. Oh recommends for this lively family of three brothers on 'My Precious Child' at 8:10 PM today on Channel A.
