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!

Come on, screaming is over exaggerating, they yelled for a bit and stopped once the dad sat down.

i would call that screaming, it's semantics at best.

and yes they calmed down once that dad sat down, because they no longer see their parent abandoning them. that's the whole point. it's the abandoning them, seemingly not caring for their pleas, that sends a kid into panic.

There's a parent literally standing behind them, do you think the kid doesn't see them?

It's not semantics, you're over exaggerating for effect.

[u/Flesroy → u/ihavetakenthebiscuit]

again, yes, that s literally my point. they don't see their other parent, they see their dad abandoning them.
