"I need a hug today."

"Oh yeah? Prove it."

If we set the example in daily life, that conversation can be a short one. For example, if you ask your partner to take out the trash instead of telling them to do it, that is one less source of cognitive dissonance, one less scenario that causes the child to say, "Why does consent matter here, but not there."
