There are so many parenting methods these days (I believe based upon fears of child abuse accusations) in which parents won't even raise their voices to a misbehaving child believing that instead the child needs some sort of positive reinforcement. I think this sort of thinking is where the scene in question came from. I'm from a generation where spanking was still an acceptable form of discipline (teachers in my elementary school were still allowed to "paddle" us) so sometimes I find such "modern and progressive" methods a bit laughable. Mind you, this is not to say that I support actually physically injuring children as discipline as I do not, but I do agree that if a child misbehaves it has to be addressed with some form of corrective action. While the days of getting paddled by the school principal are a thing of the distant past, there still has to be some form of discipline in practice or all the kids will just grow up to be anarchists thinking they can do anything they want without consequence.
