As children grow, they tend to develop various habits, some of which may not be healthy or appropriate.
One such habit that is often seen in children is scaring animals and birds. While it may seem like harmless fun to them, it can actually cause distress to the animals and birds and even lead to serious consequences. Recently, a father was faced with this situation when he noticed that his daughter had developed a habit of scaring animals and birds with a loud stomp. Despite his attempts to explain to her that it was not a good thing to do, she continued to do so, thinking it was just a harmless prank.
Frustrated with her behavior, the father decided to teach her a lesson in a way that she would not forget. One day, when she was playing Nintendo switch, looking very focused, OP scared her with a stomp from behind. The girl was in shock for a while before bursting into tears. He explained to his daughter later why he did what he did but OP’s wife wanted him to apologize to their daughter. Scroll down for the complete story.

Scaring animals and birds may seem like a harmless prank to some children, but it can have serious consequences. Parents have a responsibility to teach their children to respect and care for all living beings, and sometimes, a stern lesson like the one taught by this father can be the most effective way to do so.
OP used the right approach to make his daughter empathize with animals:
