This is very interesting and I can see how it can produce good results.

What I can't do is square this with my own observations of the current generation of parents. In my particular social and geographic circle, most parents tend to let the children do whatever they please. This almost produces "feral" children that can't even eat and sit properly (and I don't mean the Victorian Properly, I mean without dumping a full plate of food on their head or throwing cuttlery against the wall) or observe the basic rules of social interation.

If the "throw me the pebble" was applied to these children they would just think it would be OK to throw pebbles at strangers on the street.

What's the missing element in our society (honest question)?
