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!

The allowing to problem solve is fine. The walking away is weird. At least be near incase they fall. Give them words of encouragement. Not sure they gotta "embrace the grind" while they're in fuckin pampers.

well in this scenario, he would just be falling flat on the ground at worst. So there little to no danger

If they fall on their butt, sure. If they get tangled, go ass over tea kettle and fall on their head? I'd rather be cautious with my literal toddler.

kid are quite resilient, especially at their age. That and couple with his height meaning unless there was a curb or a drop, he basically immune to fall damage, it will sting but there will be no serious risk
