    Well when your kid tells you a funny story about how they almost died doing something very stupid that they thought was funny, are you supposed to laugh along with them?

      The question is: how do you tell them?

      Turning into a lecture likely turns it into them not learning and no longer telling.

      Instead, ask them what would have happened if… or something of that nature. And then tell them that they where an idiot.
