You are obviously correct here and the giant pitfall of parenting advice is generalisation.
Your kids are bickering on a car journey? You have choices in how to respond.
Your kids are throwing stones at passers by? That has to stop right now as fast as you can apply influence with a transition from verbal to physical based on distance.
Don't take anything you read here as gospel. Note the myriad of parenting attitudes and common child behaviours globally. Accept you are doing it wrong, we all have/do/will.
