how does father william treat the young man?
Answers
Answer:
In the first stanza, the young man brings up Father William's advanced age and says that his hair has grown white. This puzzles the young man, for Father William does not act his age. ... Therefore, to compensate for not being able to stand on his head in his youth, he performs this action repeatedly in his old age.

Explanation:
The father realizes his limits here. He has prepared his son with the basic
knowledge he needs, and knows that the son now needs to face the
competitive world on his own and learn more through his own experiences.
Hence, he stops answering, and dismisses further queries in a humorous way,
saying “Be off, or I'll kick you down the stairs”. The son has to now face the
outside world soon, voluntarily, before he is forced out so late, that it ruins his
life. The father draws a parallel between this logic, and the two ways of going
down the stairs – walking voluntarily down them, or being pushed down
painfully.
