A young father has a first child whom he usually plays when he comes home from work. The child was just an 8 month old and starting to stand up on his feet while making his first step to walk. One afternoon the father played with him by putting himself on the table while establishing a distance around two feet away and asks the boy to jump towards him.

Immediately the boy stood up and made his first step then ran and jumped towards his father who was ready to catch and hugs him as the child obeys his command. The child immediately rushed to his father without knowing that what he did was very dangerous.

When the action was done both had the feelings of satisfactions for they both had done what each had intended. The components of trust, obedience and confidence that they can do it without dangers were manifested in their faces.
