Om behalf of all Dad's that sometimes act like complete assholes let me apologize. I have done much much worse, although all in my son's teenage years.
The simple truth is that we parent like we were parented 95% of the time despite knowing better and wanting better for our children. I have not put my son though a wall yet, so I think I am doing better than was done to me, but I often forget words hurt too. However, raising kids in today's "You are all wonderful and perfect attitude of ultra high esteem" from how many of us were raised busting our arse for just any compliment or notion of approval our whole lives is difficult. On one hand we had difficult childhoods, on the other we would not have been successful without them.
I had a great father, who loved me dearly and did his very best for me, and I am better for it. But he lost it a few times with me too. In the end, being thrown threw a wall is no big fricking deal, it is a hell of a lot better than him not being there at all. I have no life long scars from that incident, but never will recover from his untimely death.
Being a dad is the hardest job you will ever have nowadays. And we all fail at at miserably from time to time. As I man,
all we can do from time to time is to encourage and support the effort. Hopefully, your Dad was just having one of those days.
All you can do in those cases is to compliment that kid in front of his Dad, this will remind the father his is fortunate to have a healthy loving son.

I disagree with this. I think it's a fallacy. You don't need physical or emotional abuse to become a man.

Sounds rough.
But I will say that you have no idea what happened earlier that day that may have resulted in his reaction.
Maybe the kid had been lazy and a jerk all day, and that was the last straw after repeated attempts at mild correction.
Still, public verbal abuse is generally bad.

I know I might be guilty of a harsh rebuke to my kids here and there, depending on the situation, but I also know the hugs, positive words and "love you's" outnumber those 100 to 1 or more. So while it's always good to measure your actions and adjust as needed, I think a middle ground between coddling and humiliating is usually best, tempered by love.

You're everything that's wrong with raising kids. Hugs and "love you's" pbbttth you're raising monsters.

Didn't he say he looked like a 4-5 year old?
