How parenting groups use children as leverage for compliance

I've been attending this parenting group for two years but their methods feel increasingly extreme and when I don't follow their advice my kids are used as examples of what happens when parents don't commit fully.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Children's wellbeing is being held hostage to enforce adherence to group ideology, making parents afraid to trust their own instincts.
