Traditional scolding from Asian parents is very scary. Of course these methods are not only done by Asian parents, but from a traditional cultural standpoint Asian parenting have similar themes. Hitting your children for example is very common, and most of the time they will hit the children with whatever is available. Whether the parents are in the kitchen and they’re hit with a wooden spoon, or if the mother is in the bedroom and you get hit with the bedroom slipper, or if you’re outside and you get hit with the broom. Negative reinforcement is very common, and most of the time the children are belittled in hopes that the belittling will cause the child to want to prove the parents wrong. The supportive aspect is a lot less prevalent, and instead the parents will consistently belittle the kids in order to try and get them to “overcome” the belittling to become stronger. It’s very interesting that this exists, because in recent times, Western psychology dictates that the best way to raise a child is through positive reinforcement. There doesn’t seem to be as much of a focus on child psychology in Asian countries, but it’s becoming a more prevalent problem that is slowly gaining more attention.
