In a department store, I saw a little boy sitting on the floor, crying and clamoring for ice cream. His cries attracted the attention of passersby, who were watching to see how his parents were going to deal with the dilemma. It was the father who stepped in to solve the problem. The father approached the boy, knelt down, stroked his head, and spoke softly to him, and the boy slowly stopped crying. Unlike the past, when mothers were in charge of discipline, many fathers today, in addition to earning money to support their families, place a high value on intimate interactions with their children.
