In the case of parenting, certainly. You cannot reason with a child as with an adult. Thus you make them do certain things because you know better.
Personal anecdote: when I was young I resented my parents for making me do all this "pointless crap". I even told my dad I hated him. He very calmly told me back "That's OK. You can hate me for this now. You will not hate me however when you're 22". He was right.
