rebuff: To reject bluntly, often disdainfully; snub.
Bad choice of vocabulary, kea. To rebuff a child wanting more than what is lawful is to make them feel guilty for wanting it in the first place. "Refuse gently and with explanation" would be more appropriate.
(Notice I'm saying "more" appropriate - not "most" appropriate.)
