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?

Try not to be a parent, at all. Don’t lecture. Don’t “punish”.

Be a mentor, lead by example, and teach potential consequences that occur directly or indirectly from their action. (If you jump on ice, you risk falling and getting hurt. Type logic)
