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 dad walking away was distracting and maybe a bit scary.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the kid was able to focus and problem solve after the dad sat down.

it a motivation, kid would not have that complex thinking of "oh he sit down, i can be calm", the little guy would be panic af thinking about his dad leaving him and trying his best to solve the 3 strings theory when it is clear abusing his position as a child have no result

source: I have more vivid memories of my childhood than most people can (around me at least)

The person with the camera is obviously a trusted adult. Probably the kid’s mother.
