A close friend of mine is currently studying towards a master's in Early Childhood Development and much of what they have told me about it mirrors your sentiment; that currently the focus in the field aims to show the benefits of treating one's own children as human beings, especially in the interest of giving them a fighting chance in being self-respecting and independent adults. As it turns out, children have as much capacity as adults to respond to being treated like and talked to as counterparts, though sometimes the instinct in a parent is to express anger and expect the child to know what exactly it's towards. A bit like having a shitty boss, I suppose.

Yes I am. I know that pressing records with locked grooves was deceptively expensive so I thought maybe it was a plan that fell through.
