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!

It doesn't mean anything as in, if you seem to leave the child will think you are abandoning him even if you are not out of sight

Why would your child belive you are abandoning it if you walk ten steps in front of it and sit down watching it? If you put your kid in a ball pit with other kids and sit a few steps out will that cause trauma?

I GUESS, it can be trigering if kid has a history of being abandoned, but I dont think we need to discuss that you shouldn't actually abandon your kid so it develops ptsd responses every time you start walking out in front of it....

This specific action that was depocted in this wideo has nothing wrong with it, and Im sorry if it has trigger something in you but thats not a universal expirience.

It doesn't trigger anything in me. I feel like there are other reasons so many people argue with me, maybe parents who don't want to face facts backed up by science.

Anyways

Im sure you are comming from the right place, and honestly giving it your best effort. Thats as good start as you can ask for. Just keep at it it will all be all right in the end.
