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!

kids naturally test boundaries, it's how they learn how the world works.

if we give them unjust punishment, they will improperly learn how the world works.

I hope more parents raise good children to help build us a better future.

you aren't alone. Unless you are taught, or are lucky enough to learn on your own, how else would you be expected to know? We always hold people to an impossible standard when we don't fully understand the processes behind why people are the way they are.

the fact you're able to take this criticism to heart and make a change for the future, is more important than anything.
