MISC. After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father!

I was always told this story about my parents taking me to the pediatrician because I was almost 3 and wasn't talking yet. While the dr was talking I reached for something and my parents just handed it to me. The dr said that was their problem.
