It very much depends on the relationship you have with your kids. Respect and trust are really important.
However beyond that IMHO frankly it's critical safety imperative that children do what their parents tell them when it matters. If you're in the street near traffic a child disregarding parental instructions is a life and death issue. There are other safety critical situations too. This is why I feel it's vital that children and parents have a relationship of trust and respect, in both directions, that allows for that. It's not easy, I know.

- mattlondon 4y agoYour kids can trust and respect you, but they still get curious and still get bored. They won't always want to do what you want them to do, especially when they are toddlers. You need to let kids be kids (while being safe which I obviously agree with)
