In recent times, It has been suggested that some
parents
use strong persuasion tactics on their kids. I agree with
this
statement as I believe that, it is a common
action

parents
employ to make their wards achieve various feats.

may happen voluntarily or involuntarily. In certain instances, there may be various reasons for strong persuasion.
