Can I judge parents who do countdowns to beatdowns?
That depends. Why do you judge them?
They are just plain wrong. They are terrifying their children.
I agree, beating children is not a good way to discipline them. It leads to more anger towards the parent.
I'm just saying that counting down to it is mean and cruel.
It is good that you don't think it is good that parents count down to a beating but you still shouldn't approve of the actual beatings themselves. That is also not good for children as it doesn't really help the child learn.
