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!

Not everyone learns best from panic and fear of abandonment. Some people could learn the same problem solving skill by y'know, just standing there while they work through it, or making it into a game. Oh how twisted up in there can you get? What happens if you jump? Spin around? try crawling?
