   I think that most of the old fairytales are quite gruesome. But it is a different thing to only hear it. The visual effect has more impact, so I think that it is fine that they “mollified” the stories for children in the movies. But the newer movies like “Beauty and the beast” change the story too much, I find.
   There were also many stories like the original Pinocchio to scare children into submission. The German author Wilhelm Busch wrote many terrible, cruel stories, in which children get hurt terribly (they die actually) because they are disobedient.

     I agree. I think the severity in the methods parents use in child rearing has diminished by degree with each generation, for most people?

       In Germany, in the 70s, we had a phase of the anti-authoritarian method, which left the children completely without borders. That gave us a generation of disoriented, unsocialized children (me, me, me). But now it seems to have developed into something more reasonable. Not punishing, but setting borders. Teaching children that other people also have a right to be there, making them more social.
