I think the idea was to get away from the implication that it is “bad” if you didn’t listen or you are bad for not listening. I’m no expert on children but I think the idea is to keep from encouraging a situation where something happens that isn’t ideal but the kid doesn’t ask for help because they’re preoccupied with the fear of “being bad” or “getting in trouble” even if they’re already in more trouble then they’d be in with the guardian.
