There is much pseudoscience in religious circles regarding raising children. Here are two links exposing it to real scientific research (link) (link). Click on the link below for an enlightening video on the problem:
"PragerU made a video about parenting, and it won’t surprise you to learn that it’s garbage. Titled, 'How to Get Kids to Listen', it does literally nothing more than what the name suggests - tell parents to call for and expect obedience from their children. Of course those of you in Christian backgrounds will probably find his authoritarian mentality and approach familiar. In this video, I share my thoughts about his advice and how it relates to my history as a former evangelical parent/teacher/school administrator. While John Rosemond doesn’t address this in explicitly Christian terms, his parenting advice and underlying assumptions about obedience are deeply rooted in conservative evangelicalism, so I hope you find this helpful."
