it's not reasoning dipshit it's explaining why they can't do something. it's not "okay we'll come to a compromise" but it's "we are the authority and this is the reason for us saying no" so that they actually learn.  just saying "no" with no explanation doesn't solve anything, they don't learn why the thing they were doing was wrong. being an authority for authority's sake is never the way to command actual authority, you have to be a real leader and explain the world to them properly.
