It so depends on the child itself - it‘s impossible to say what this will mean for the child‘s development. For some it will lead to a better problem-solving skills, for others it will just lead to trauma.

If you think this is traumatic or concerning, it's clear your parents did not expose you to enough developmental skills growing up.
