It's true Arima is basically torturing and abusing Kaneki to try and "help" him and we still don't know his motivations for doing so. There's no excuse for this even though it's effective. But Arima doesn't exactly seem equipped to handle this on an emotional level by having a heart to heart. This might be the only way he himself is capable of helping Kaneki.

Also, Kaneki isn't a defenseless child, Arima isn't his actual father. Kaneki is technically a soldier and Arima could just be viewed as a tough mentor. Maybe he was taught in the same cold manner so it's all he knows. There really is no comparison with Kaneki's mother imo.
