This is a form of bullying actually when an adult who is bigger and older uses his power on a child who can’t defend himself and has to obey to avoid serious consequences. description is authoritarian.

Given the differences of opinion in the other posts on gentle discipline, I think that everyone will agree that responding with compassion is always right.
