In a Christian home, none of those tactics should be seen except maybe scolding and shaming. The rest are no-brainers.

Scolding, though (depending on definition), has to happen if we want our kids to know right from wrong. Shaming, less so, but useful. I think if a kid acts up at Thanksgiving dinner, and Dad sends him to his room, that would be shaming, and maybe appropriate.

Psychobabble Today got a few things right. My grandmother knew those things back a hundred years ago.

Dad was a preacher, and he was so mean in every way that I still haven’t cried about his death, which was in 2008. I understand that his father also was abusive to his kids. Our generation has broken the cycle.

LOL!! Good one!

You are most fortunate! To quote a dear departed friend of mine, "Sh*t rolls downhill." He was referring to child abuse. And wise parenting does also. I see it in so many of the families I've known over the years, the effects over generations of the good and the bad.
