Actually, I don’t think he was doing that (calling an adult a child). I believe when he said “it's not necessary to always treat someone as a child”, he was referring to this part of the parent comment:
“"I like the fact that you took initiative on something that needs doing. However, we have established ways of doing this. There may also be other things you should be doing with your time instead. If you don't, here, sit behind me and let's set it up together. And in the future, check with me before you jump into something like this."”
Frankly, that does seem like the sort of response a parent might give their child when they do something wrong.

I'm not surprised it's also used in parenting. I'd rather work in an environment where this style of communication is encouraged (as opposed to the response the author got) - wouldn't you?
