Not sure who "we" is, but I don't do this.I get my kids to do many things they don't want to do, but not by using force.I might say, "no vegetables, no dessert" but that's an incentive.Or I might say: you must attend school.Not using force, just telling them what they must do.1/2https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1294450287344836609 …

Maybe the pt. is not force vs. no force, but the fact that, w/ younger children, we're more inclined to simply tell them what to do? (Not unrelatedly: they are more inclined to listen to us.)This makes sense: younger children have a poorer understanding of what they should do.2/2
