The problem these days is that many parents are so self-absorbed that they don't bother to teach their children anything. I always have to smile when I see a young mother with a 3 year old at the supermarket, and she's doing what my mom did with me- having a running conversation as she goes down the aisles about what she's buying, planning, etc. "Lets get some Cream of Mushroom soup so we can make a casserole out of that leftover chicken and some rice- you like that, don't you?" "So what kind of cake mix shall we get for dad's birthday?" "Do you remember how much Cheerios is left in the box?" I usually say something like "Good job, mom, treat him like an adult and he'll act like one." I always get a smile and a "thank you" in return.
I guess I'm not the only one- my son and his wife have 4 kids (from 1 to 10) who are very well behaved. He says they often get compliment from older people in restaurants- "so nice to see a family having a conversation rather than a shouting match".
Parenting is work, and unfortunately, many are not willing to put in the effort anymore.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
