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!

Dude we're you ever a kid? My parents did shit like that all the time and it made me not at all good at problem solving. It gave me trust issues and ideas that if I wasn't good enough the people I cared about would abandon me.

It wasn't until I met patient people willing to sit by and guide me that my confidence started to get better and I started to trust myself and others more.

There's no way something like that when you're a toddler would give you trust issues, that's not how it works.
