I wonder what proportion of that has been done with only a couple of hours of parental/family contact per day (and those when the parents are most tired).
Also probably, for better or worse, corporal punishment has been a mainstay up until the last few decades.
In short, I don't think modern Western parenting can rely much on the methods of the past.
It's totally OT but I'm interested in thoughts/responses.
