Research shows that it's never too early to build a child's character, and a father has a lot to do with it. So, we watch the father become a factor in the baby's character training: helping the baby's mood early in the morning, knowing how to lift a child out of the crib, giving a baby a bath, attending to the 6:00 AM feeding, playing with toys, getting the toddler to eat its food (particularly spinach) without losing all one's dignity, and then, once the child is older, to talk to the child daily about their day and their behavior. In this case, the lad wants dad to read him the funnies, while dad wants to talk about the boy's behavior. Who succeeds in his objective?
