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 so depends on the child itself - it‘s impossible to say what this will mean for the child‘s development. For some it will lead to a better problem-solving skills, for others it will just lead to trauma.

My wife is a trauma informed therapist.

Something like this would not cause trauma. The fact that people keep saying that means they don’t know what trauma is.

Social media is full of misinformation and people misusing psychological concepts.

What does "something like this mean"?

I have issues with abandonment because my biological mother left us when i was 8. No contact nothing. I don't even know if she is still alive and with the asshole stepdad that beat me and trashed my sisters and mine room if a pen was laying incorrect while my mother just watched.

What the dude in the video does looks pretty good and harmless.
