maleficent

A small child doesn't need an explanation... Does a child need to be told not to touch the stove because it's hot, or not to cross the street without supervision because they could get hit by a car. Because Mommy or Daddy said so should be good enough reason.

When a child gets older and doesn't see a reason to clean their room -- because that's the way Mom and Dad want it, is the reason... The kid doing the questioning is the one causing the rift not the parents.
