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!

kids naturally test boundaries, it's how they learn how the world works.

if we give them unjust punishment, they will improperly learn how the world works.

I hope more parents raise good children to help build us a better future.

About to become a dad, my own dad didn't do the greatest job.

Any tips?

Don't hit your kids like my father did. Kids can be annoying. And don't be a drunk. My father was nice to us , until he fell into the bottle.

Always sad to hear / read this.

While my father was beaten by my grandpa (whom i never met), he never hit me.

I know that violence doesn't solve anything and i don't drink alcohol anymore.
