With exaggeration, this is the atmosphere we are raising children in today:
Shteig, shteig, shteig exactly as I tell you to. If you dont follow the rules, you’re letting Hashem and everyone down and the world will suffer the consequences (possibly another Holocaust). If you follow the rules exactly, you’ll be happy.
Guilt and shame for those who cant follow or wont follow exactly.
No fun allowed.
No questions allowed.
To summarize: An unrealistic view of childhood, for many.
