This dad from Maine motivated his 3-year-old son to overcome his fear of water and jump into a lake.

Steven Sobel is seen in the water encouraging Ryker to jump into the Schoodic Lake without any assistance.

The 3-year-old who has a camera strapped to his head is heard anxiously questioning if his dad will catch him.

He manages to muster up enough courage to jump in after muttering "I'm not afraid, it's just water." Ryker eventually makes the plunge and his dad is heard praising him: "You did it!

Nice job.

Big boy jump!" Nice man." This heartwarming footage was filmed in August 2019.
