Is it normal for people to constantly scream at their children?
I don't have any, i have no interest in them as a species so i don't know. Maybe it literally is all the rage. But my neighbours seem very shouty. 😬

I think it's pretty common. More so among some cultures than others. And I would say probably more so as people have more children- someone with 5 kids would be more likely to yell than someone with 1.
It wasn't common in my house. My dad is Filipino, and as is normal in Filipino culture, children are taught from a young age to submit to parents, which results in children being less assertive or independent. This means yelling isn't very common among parents- I actually found my dad lowering his voice to be scarier lol. But I would say in Western culture it is seen as more common, though doing so publicly or so loud that others can hear probably varies in normalcy based on where you live. In poorer areas of America, especially areas seen as 'ghetto', I would say it's normal to yell at kids even in more public settings- in front of their friends, from the porch, etc. I would say in many houses in the suburbs, it's common to do so in your own house, but usually not to the extent where others can hear frequently.
