1. Economic standard of the parents, will determine the rules they impose on their children
2. Education, Awareness and geographical location will determine, societal acceptable rules for parenting.

Its is a well documented fact the a vast majority of Wealthy parents, don't beat their children but talk to them, while the reverse is the case for the Not So wealthy Parents,

I will post some others ... and you're welcome to share some, you've heard or experienced.
