Many parents, uncles, and grandparents have a bad habit of resorting to fear to make children obey. So it is very common to hear "if you don't eat the food, the cuckoo will come for you", "if you don't order your toys the monster will get angry", "if you behave badly the wolf will come looking for you", "the lord of the bag will take you ». All these phrases may be unimportant for adults but for children they are extremely cruel.
It must be borne in mind that children's psyches are still in formation and if they are raised with fear they will end up being insecure and anxious people. The role of adults, and especially parents, is to reassure children by not instilling fear into them. Therefore, the child must understand that he has to order his toys because it is right for him to do so and not because a wolf will come to eat him. If you want something more coercive, you can go to "if you don't do it, you go to penance or you don't watch television" but never threaten him with terrifying images that make him insecure.
You have to know that until an old age children believe that fairies, monsters and ghosts exist, so you do not have to manipulate their mind with threats that will raise their anxiety level, make them have nightmares and make them feel insecure.
