Child obesity has become a significant health issue in Korea. Prevalence of obesity in school-age children in Korea has been alarmingly rising since 2008. Prevalence of obesity among infants and preschool-age children in Korea has doubled since 2008. Obese children may develop serious health complications. Before nutritional counseling is pursued, several points should be initially considered. The points are modifiable risk factors, assessment for child obesity, and principles of treatment. Motivational interviewing and a multidisciplinary team approach are key principles to consider in managing child obesity effectively in the short-term as well as long-term.

본 연구는 산만 및 충동성향 6세 여아에 대한 아동중심놀이치료 이론을 기반으로 한 아동상담 사례이다. 아동의 산만 및 충동성향으로 인하여 어머니는 양육에 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 아동상담은 Full Battery 심리검사를 실시한 후, 2020년 11월 19일부터 2022년 6월 16일까지 주 1회 회기별 아동상담 40분 부모상담 10분씩 총 63사례회기 진행하였다. 아동은 상담과정에서 아동의 주도적인 놀이를 통해 애정욕구 및 공격적이고 충동적인 모습을 나타냈으며, 상담을 통해 안정감을 느끼며 산만 및 충동성향이 감소하는 행동을 보였다. 또한 아동은 부모에게 자신의 감정을 언어로써 구체적으로 표현하고, 초등학교 입학 후 학교적응이 원만한 모습을 보였다. 어머니는 아동양육이 전보다 훨씬 수월해졌다고 보고했으며, 한달에 한번 추후 상담을 하기로 결정하며 상담을 종료하였다. 본 연구는 유아기 아동상담의 시작으로 1년 8개월가량 진행된 사례연구로서, 그 결과로 아동이 초등학교에 입학하여 1, 2학년 시기 동안의 적응적 생활양식을 확인한 연구라는 점에서도 의의가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sand play therapy on the parenting stress and saliva cortisol levels of parents undergoing child counseling programs. The study was conducted with 13 parents who were undergoing child counseling programs. The sessions were held every week for 45 minutes from July, 2011 to September, 2011. To evaluate the effects of sand play therapy, pre test and post test were conducted and the results were then analyzed. The therapy sessions consist of parents making sand boxes, and this was done without consideration of any particular theme. The instrument used was Abidin (1990)'s Parenting Stress Instrument (PSI). Saliva cortisol levels were obtained at the pre-post stage of the sand play therapy. The data were analyzed by means of frequency and the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was conducted by the SPSS. The major findings were as follows; There were significant differences in terms of the decreases in the areas of perception of all the parenting stresses examined, including daily life stress, child temperament stress, child relationship stress, and learning-expectation stress, as well as in saliva cortisol levels. Finally, this study suggests that parenting stress and saliva cortisol levels have a positive relationship, and the effects of sand play therapy were significant with decreases in parenting stress and saliva cortisol levels.
