I definitely agree that there are often benefits of tough parenting that don't show up until later in life. Case in point (and a true story), when I was five I absolutely hated reading. Knowing that this could hamper me in many ways later on in life, one day my mother locked me in a room and wouldn't let me out until…

I, too, am glad that the final scenes showed both Korra and Lin getting their bending returned to them.
