@cognazor without engaging with a toxic person, this does seem like a fruitful topic. I'm not a parent so I only have one side of this perspective. I'm sure you (and all parents) have a lot of perspective I lack on this.

Something I want to learn more about is Aboriginal Australian approaches to childrearing. I learned a little through govt resources on leaching in indigenous communities about how childrens' sovereignty is hugely important, and how you don't disrespect or scold children.
