To be concerned by the parenting on display in Frozen

[TooExtraImmatureCheddar]

I mean, take Kristoff. He's just following all these men around trying to lift ice blocks like they do, loading them onto his little sled, trying to keep up, and no one acknowledges him at all. Is one of those men his dad? Then he gets left behind and a troll just decides she'll keep him, and that's that! Where are his parents and don't they miss him at all?

Then you have the king and queen and their great advice that Elsa hides all her powers and wears gloves so she never touches anyone...Does anyone else want to report them to Arendelle Social Services?

Kristoff I can understand.. in that time and place and social class. Those men were probably being kind to the orphan boy (by the standards of the day....) by cutting him a tiny block he could lift, just enough to push him but not too big... helping him learn his future trade. Someone had to have cut it for him.
And if there were parents around, he'd not have been there trying to make his own way at that age.

but the king and queen.. WTF? they have a daughter who's special talent marks her out as "different" and are told that she needs love to help her control it... so they shut her away from everyone including her incredibly close little sister, she has no friends, teach her to fear her own talents...
meanwhile her sister grows up alone with no friends, no affection... and is stupid enough to think the first crush she gets is real love as a result because she hasn't ever felt it! I'm fairly sure if I were to lock one of my kids away from everyone except me I'd be done for abuse and negligence - I'd hope so, anyway!

The king and queen have just seen Elsa's talent injure Anna, and have been told that the injury could have been impossible to fix. Then they're shown a vision that implies that people could attack Elsa because of her talent. It's understandable that they want her to hide it. The trolls do not tell them how Elsa might learn to control her power, so the king and queen wouldn't have any way of knowing that that could be done other than by hiding and suppressing it.

The movie is supposed to be set in an 1840ish time frame. They didn't know then how bad solitary confinement was for people. They wouldn't have known what we do about psychology. It was a branch of philosophy until the 1870s. (Speaking of the time period setting of Frozen, I was impressed that Anna attributes Elsa's gloves to a "thing about dirt", rather than a "thing about germs", as you wouldn't expect most people to know about germs at that time)
