Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim with a Level 3 in research and debate. Click on a toddler.

I can reproduce. For some actions the toddler will do the "cross arms" animation to deny doing the action, which results in terrifying stretching.
There are no tests for whether or not sims of a certain age can be convinced in the "Convince to..." tuning files.
Update: I have uploaded a mod that fixes this on my Tumblr. Go to thefreshsims on Tumblr, and check the "My Mods" page.

@Bra1nBlast3d Does the mod include all Sims that are not enrolled in University or toddlers?

The mod includes all sims. It basically makes sure that the age checks that were missing are there. For example, you can no longer try to convince anyone younger than YA to go streaking.

@Bra1nBlast3d There is still this issue with the Convince function: [NEEDS INPUT] [DU] Option to Convince Sim to Complete Already Completed Homework
Also, this issue: [NEEDS INPUT] [DU] Can Convince Non University Sims to Do Homework

This is still happening in the game. In the video I did the option twice. The first time the Sim was successful and nothing happened. The second time, the toddler stretched. There is a tub on the lot. See the video below:
