If the parents don't let the kid express his dislike for something by using one of the more handy, simple, vocabulary words for doing so, they are probably doing a lot of other of those "modern parenting" things ... and are well on their way to turning a cute small child into a demanding, entitled, potentially out of control pre-teen.
If they aren't the kind of parents who are resorting to bribery to assure the cooperation of someone small enough to be lifted and carried, then there's hope.
