We had our great-granddaughter out in the toyhauler last summer. She was just toddling and not really steady on her feet. She leaned against the door, and just managed to pull down on the handle to open the door, and out she went. Luckily she was unhurt except for being scared half to death. I don't believe "a swat on the butt" would have done much to dissuade her from her action since she had no real idea what happened.
And I've rarely met a completely obedient child, some just test the boundaries. We call it being strong-willed in our family. :)
