My wife is a kindergarten teacher (in Sweden it requires a bachelor's degree, so it's an actual thing) and one of the things she has kept bringing up during her time at uni is that you have to explain why. Just saying "stop", "no", "yes" etc teaches them nothing. What is obvious to us is unknown to them. Explain why and they'll be empathetic back.
