We spent most of our time with media, and I was exhausted too. When Tteoyuri turned four, I hurried to get language and developmental evaluations at a rehabilitation clinic and an ear, nose, and throat clinic. Even now, at six, Tteoyuri’s pronunciation is still unclear. I tried various things late, but it all felt overwhelming. After my second

Kim Jin-mi: PCIT Child-led Play
When asked, ‘Do you enjoy playing with your child?’ most mothers shake their heads. Yet play is vital in early childhood. Through play, children feel their mothers’ love, gain confidence, and learn the skills they need to live in society, including initiative and social skills. Still, many mothers find it hard to play with their children. They feel they should make play fun but do not know how, and if a child has an emotional outburst, play can start to feel like a burden. How should you play with a child? The answer is child-led play, where the child takes the lead and is in charge. PCIT, or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, coaches parents in healthy ways to interact with their children and improve problem behaviors. This book explains in detail child-directed interaction, the PCIT play technique that helps parents and children build attachment. It describes what parents should avoid saying and doing during child-led play, which techniques to use, and how those techniques affect children’s social and emotional development. It also shares real cases of families who changed through coaching, along with the principles behind those changes, to help parents understand their children’s behavior. A change in how you play can change your child. The book offers parent-led play therapy techniques that can help make a child happy without professional help. You’ll learn special play skills that support your child’s self-esteem, social skills, initiative, and language development.
