In "Hansel and Gretel,” how does conflict make Hansel and Gretel’s father a better man?

The conflict separates the father from Hansel and Gretel, and he grieves while they are gone. Their return lets him be reunited with them and shows how deeply he cares for his children. The best answer is that he suffers from their loss until they return; the story does not say he becomes wealthy or learns to navigate the forest with crumbs.
