Assaulting a child is obviously wrong, and it doesn’t work. You also can’t just “reason” a two year old out of a tantrum. They do not understand reason yet, and even if they could calmly reasoning with a fully grown adult doesn’t usually break through a tantrum either. You have to acknowledge their feelings and make them feel heard first and then there’s a variety of ways to move on from there depending what the cause is. But if you think you’re just going to reason people out of misbehaving whether their children or coworkers good luck being disappointed haha.
