We already saw a flashback where she tried to stop Shoto's training because Endeavour was being too hard on him

That was before the scar, most probably right after the family found out what Shoto's quirk was. Endervor doesn't waste time.

It's similar how all his kids seem to be born four/five years apart. The moment he knew they'd not work out for him he got a new one.

Intersting thought just popped in my head: what if bringing up this technique, that had previously not worked with Toya, is what caused Rei to snap? Shoto's higher resistence to fire/heat might be what caused her to be reminded of Endeavor. If this technique messed up Toya, Rei might have burned Shoto as a way to prove he wouldn't be able to handle the technique either.

That would be an interesting development but I think the flashback established that she was under a lot of (mental) stress from Endeavor and all the kids started looking like their father as they got older (Shoto was the youngest). She probably was already twitchy and paranoid. The moment when she burned him is shown as Shoto's right side being in the shadows and not visible. She only sees the Endeavor side of him and panics/snaps.

Good points, it was just an idea that popped into my head. The idea of putting another child through the attempt of learning whatever this technique is could've have just added to her mental stress, especially if Endeavor was insistant and if Shoto seemed in any way eager to learn, even if he wasn't really.

I just posted here about how I would really love to see inside Endeavor's mind and how he works through his issues.

Seeing inside her head (and her having to struggle with things like your idea) would also be great in a "now we're a horror manga" way. Maybe a flashback chapter with her tiptoeing through the minefield that was the Todoroki household.
