I think this is maybe not exaclty the same thing but there is a lot of overlap.
It is healthy for my kid to:
go hang out and bond with their father
go out of their comfort zone
learn patience
also do stuff that others like
learn to sacrifice
give a try to something, even if they think it will not be fun
do things for others and not only for themselves.
experience new things
This is healthy social behavior and as a parent you are responsible your kid learns it. If they do not want to learn this stuff on their own, you are responsible for making a gentle push.
