Parenting and Teaching Children in Rango Village

Andrew, another friend and father came in from outside and walked up to us. He greeted us and hesitated a bit before turning to Sarah, "Your son was up on the roof. I think it's dangerous."

Sarah seemed solemn and thoughtful about this and quiet. She nodded a slight nod and Andrew left. The she looked at me and said, "He knows he's not supposed to be up there." 

The next thing I pondered was, "What motivation did the child have to obey his mother?" This is really important if the child is to be safe, he needs a reason to do what he's told.
