It's just such a terrible way to raise a child.

[calimac]

It's impatience. What the child did wrong is obvious to the parent, so they don't want to take the trouble to explain it to the child (or, even worse, think the child is only pretending not to know what they did wrong), especially as that might prompt requests for further explanation (or "talking back").
