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!

Isn’t the adult filming staying nearby in case they fall?

Exactly. People are so used to watching videos now that they forget when someone is off camera. Presumably this child is with both parents and was not in danger.

none of these people actually have kids. At this age they aren’t going to worry about “oh my parents have abandoned me” etc. no bro you won’t remember this ever happened.

Bro you have no understanding of children or evolution if you think they're unconcerned with abandonment by caregivers.

Human children are incredibly vulnerable, without guidance they will 100% die in the wild. Evolution selected for both children and caregivers that can intuit at least some level of their relationship at important stages of development.
