Seems like a pretty brutal educational strategy, but i guess it might be stimulating for some. As long as you get along and don't get hurt. Slavic culture does it primarily in a passive aggressive manner, which might make you feel conflicted, on top you have words of encouragement combined with domination and superiority, but at the same time you feel like you wouldn't make it without them. Quiet frankly in my case it was always going against the tide of my family, which I'm grateful for, but sometimes, really quietly I wish I did have a bit of emotional support instead of military style, submit and surrender, you have no vote in this. At work I see a lot of unloved "kids" who have no idea how to deal with their emotions, feelings, how not to run from themselves, stay in the present and learn new approaches, so I agree with you, psychological and emotional education is a must.
Thank you for your feed back, have an awesome day!
