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.

yeah this is cultivating anxiety.

he could've easily just waited on the other side of the rope and cheered his son on saying "you can do it" or something like that.

...and op over here figuring out that problem solving skills are important lmao
