Beautiful critical thinking skills.

Absolutely building his creative thinking skills! There are too many helicopter parents in this world depriving their child of the ability to overcome even the simplest of problem solving & overcoming the slightest of life's challenges.

POV

The kid will pay thousands for therapy on his abandonment issues.

Troubleshooting! Or, task management. However you care to phrase it. Teaching a young one to think! Well done dad!

More accurately, letting the child figure it out for himself which is a valuable skill.

No. Observe and learn. You don’t learn until you HAVE to apply what you know. Critical thinking - Dad didn’t leave. He waited. But he allowed the child the chance to figure it out. Waiting can be so hard sometimes. Especially later in life.

Wonderfull patience from the adult to allow the child to work threw it

What’s with this trend of forcing tiny kids to do stuff all alone and then acting like it’s a good idea? Teaching them that not even their loved ones will help is cruel not clever. You ppl are damaged.

Wow. Tough love. 💕
