browbeat

The thing that I got clear on very early on was, you’re not going to browbeat or moralize your way to this issue.

During a meeting, Lindstrom yelled at his colleagues for going around him and browbeating his people, according to an official who was present.

Instead, they till a middle ground, choosing to teach by example rather than by browbeating.

See here, deacon, if you've been browbeating that child, I may forget that I'm a minister.
