The fact that you’re at odds with everyone else in the thread should tell you everything you need to know, but the entire point of the post was that giving their child something to do solved a lot of problems.
Humans don’t respond well to having nothing to do.
That’s not at all the moral of the story, because it’s a fair assumption that his child, like most children not experiencing abuse, was not told to literally sit and do nothing prior to being given a shovel.
Think about it for a second. Is there some widespread epidemic of parents forcing children to sit and do nothing? Do we really need a lesson that “hey this thing that no one does is bad”?
The lesson is that kids need physical activity. Not just reading or video games or doing homework. Which is not “doing nothing”.
The fact that you’re at odds with everyone else in the thread
Lemmings are the single dumbest group of online people I’ve ever seen, so that happens a lot.
How the fuck is it bizarre? What’s bizarre is saying people need to not sit and do literally nothing. It’s such a fucking obvious statement, it’s like saying people need to eat to not starve. Bunch of fucking morons on this site. If that’s a lesson you need teaching, you probably aren’t intelligent enough to survive without substantial supportive care
They were surprised that giving their child something physical to do was good for them. Something outside, dirty, and taking a lot of energy. That’s an important lesson, nowadays when do much of parenting is indoors and on tablets.
That’s the lesson. All you dumb fucks are missing it and it’s really blowing my mind that you think the kid was literally sitting doing nothing up until mom gave him a shovel. Not reading, not doing homework, not playing games, just sitting and not doing a damn thing.
It’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard of. And it’s pissing me off that our society could produce such stupid people.

Have you ever even met a child?
A lot of them are on this site, and those ones definitely need to touch grass
This is an absolutely bizarre way you’ve chosen to interpret the post.
