Honestly handled that well. I mean the phone thing was strange but dad was backing up facing the bear. The bear was looking at him mostly it seemed.

Walking away with your back to the bear is a bad idea. The dad not getting between the boy and bear is another bad idea.

Make a shite ton of noise and be as "big" as possible. "hey bear" Hey Bear" is always a good greeting in bear country.

Most bears don't like to eat things that know their names...

Count me down as one who thinks the dad did a good job. If the bear isn't being agressive, no need to cause a fight or flight response from it while your son is in between you. walking away at a pace that lets the son get closer while the dad maintains eye contact seems like a good idea.
