Will definitely take a long while. People in general aren't up to be criticized on that one, even indirectly.

Children are like cute kitties: no one wants to see them tortured, but they don't really get to be treated respectfully in any way or form. The flag for "do I respect them?" is always set to True and yet it is almost never reflected in the actual behaviour towards them.

People are at least willing to entertain the thought that you aren't an absolute idiot, might be acting in good faith and have some sort of internal capacity for morality or ethics if you're an adult.

Yeah. It's not like it's parents to blame 100% for it. Most of it is inconscient behavior, and also in a lot of cases there's few options for the parents - it's not like they live the lives of Pharaoh's lmao.

The way I see it, the current state of children won't change directly, as in parents learning better ways directly by being convinced by rationality(this happens, of course, but it's weak force). It takes a full society change for this state to evolve. But I don't think it will take that long, if you ask: history is moving fast and there's a lot going on - I'm an optimist.
