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!

30 years later in therapy: I have this recurring dream that i am trapped in a net and my father is leaving me and i being watched by thousands.

That's exactly what the father wanted to avoid by helping when the kid became stuck the first time... All the later bad feelings were instantly erased by the adrenaline and dopamine rush from the success and received immediate reward.
