I can understand how some people (meaning parents) get carried away with this type of behaviour. I agree with you EULA, this slip in thoughts to a 'authoritarian' type parental aspect can be very damaging, and result in the very context of your quote.
I however made sure that my daughter knew that when I requested something, it was important, and not just because I wanted control.. it was usally for her safety, or because I wanted to share something with her.. even if it was just something fun. I have mentioned in other threads that I did not experience the terrible toddler ages or so far, any rebellion.
