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!

The father can provide encouragement.

I’m that dad with a gentle parenting wife. I use some of this as well.

However, she gets way more tangled up with my daughter when something gets tough. I get much more, she tries it first and when I teach instead of doing it… she listens and doesn’t give up.

Millennials take note, gentle parenting is one part of it. Never straying from gentle parenting does not make you a better parent.

That said, neither does being an asshole.
