I'm bad at describing specific situations here, but there's a difference between politely suggesting something vs. the "stern talking-to" that some people are talking about. Like making a huge deal about saying "please" for Smarties, when (for all you know) we're already working through the difficulties of that on our own and just haven't quite mastered it.
Your choice to withhold smarties (don't know who I'm talking to), but if you think it's your job to teach a lesson in manners, then you're just wasting your time.
