sounds like there may be some room for clarification there with him. it makes me think of the parent bird kicking the wee bird out of the nest - but if they do it too soon, the wee one can't fly and gets really hurt; either in the fall from the tree, or it can't get food, can't escape predators.
perhaps you could use that line of reasoning and explain it is too soon!!!
