I do have kids. It’s not always as simple as that, but practicing what you preach as a parent and treating kids as individuals with minds and bodies of their own is very important.
The goal should be to teach, not just to make them obey like OP’s image suggests.
If you had infinite patience, then it would be easy as well, but we’re not robots. Humans, adults as well, get tired and run out of patience and don’t perform optimally. And when you’re exhausted and trying to put on a nice tone of voice, it might not sound all that pleasant. And kids can pick up on things like that.
To reiterate the difference between “simple” and “easy”, fighting a heavyweight boxing world champ would be simple, but it wouldn’t be easy.
simple as that … so, do you have kids?

I actually do believe it is that simple. It’s probably not easy, because of the duration, but it is simple.
Monkey see monkey do
