Admittedly some "armchair quarterbacking" here, but it seems to me that reciprocity works well for kids as well as adults. If someone starts acting like an unreasonable pain in the ass, they get treated as such in my response and dealing with them. If they're reasonable, they get treated reasonably.

If your kid is being a bratty pain in the butt, they don't deserve explanation, IMO - I'd give them "my way or the highway".
