Abstract

Purpose: This study sought to use child and parent counselling to investigate aspects of maladjustment in parent–child and peer relationships of children who had been exposed to excessive private education in early life. Method: The Case study method was used for three children and their mothers, analyzing the process of transformation in awareness of the issue of excessive education, based on the content of the counselling session. Result: The process of change in awareness of problems due to their experiences of excessive private education experiences was divided into five domains and 13 categories. The participants showed that they were aware of the problems in their relationship and consequently made changes to their lives. Conclusion: This study found that counselling helped alleviate the aforementioned problems, which suggests the need for preventive interventions on parent–child relationship in the context of the negative effects of excessive private education.
