I dunno. I was raised on the fact that if I wandered about or did wrong, I got the fear of God put in by mom/dad. I start wandering around and the next thing, I hear is a bellowing voice "BRANDON CLINE YOU COME RIGHT BACK HERE!" I zipped back to mom faster than a fatty to a burger.
But then the semi truck hit you because your parents didn't notice quick enough.
It's not a matter of training. The kid can still be trained not to wander. But it takes some time to LEARN that, and during that time the kid can really get itself into trouble.
Just a thought.
