Or just load less than a full mag.
My kid never shot her single shot again after trying the 15/22. She was mowing down sillywets yesterday at 50m offhand. even has a red dot on it to make it as easy/fun as possible.

Youngsters and semiauto guns are a bad combo. I'd be thinking simple single shot tools for the training process. Maybe a bolt gun. I understand what you are saying, it is an old school thought that has been passed along for ages. Honestly I don't think it really makes sense if the adult conducting the training is knowledgeable. A youngster with a semi auto isn't necessarily unsafe, wasteful or learning bad habits if the adult providing the instructions is worth their salt.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I had a Ruger 10/22 at age 8.
Was a rifle, semi auto didn't mean crap.
Was handy trying to blast red squirrels though.
Managed a few offhand, but did better w a rest.
