break

1. When you break a child for respect, you try to make the child afraid to do or not do things that would not actually face discipline or would not face the child's perceived severity of discipline by applying additional force or other pressure.
2. When you break a child for obedience, you try to make the child more obedient in other aspects of these things, or in other things, by applying additional force or other pressure on some things.
3. When you break a child for acceptance, you try to make the child give up or partially give up anger, either permanently, temporarily, at some daily moments, or at more rare moments, by applying additional force or other pressure.
4. When you break a child to reduce vulnerability, you discipline the child more severely, claiming (usually in the form of an implication) that this will hopefully reduce the child's pain from being disciplined.
5. Other important meanings that I didn't think of.

Breaking down

It does even mean anything when YOU say it because you clearly didn't get it.
Hym "You're a dumb person. You're dumb. You don't like being dumb so you shit on smart people. THAT'S WHAT YOU WOULD SAY IF I WAS SAYING IT. The language breaking down is part of the problem that YOU'RE CREATING by being the way you are you fucking trash."
