You actually hit it right in the nail. What actually works is talking to them like thinking, rational human beings, explain the situation and then be a mature adult and understand that they will have to make their own choices and there is nothing you can do about it.

Ideally we should be teaching self-control instead of submission and evasion. A lot of what's going on in the world stems from this tendency.
