  Choosing the Right Path: Didacticism in Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Books, by Pat Pflieger
The success of the protagonist--or the main, active character whose destiny the reader guides--has been determined by whether or not the character survives the adventure and by whether or not the character has done what he or she set out to do at the beginning of the work.
But whether the protagonist is male or female, fl or white, he or she is encouraged to be self-confident enough to forge ahead and complete the adventure, but to apply common sense, prudence, and certain moral values in the decision-making process.
If, in Blackstone's Magic Adventure #1, the protagonists--who have just seen what appears to be a ghost on an upper floor of a skyscraper under construction--are allowed to run to the elevator in panic, they discover too late that the elevator has been sabotaged.

Not only is this a realistic conclusion for kids adventuring without adult supervision, but you really can't underestimate a kid's fascination with death.
Some decisions are more obvious, like choosing to trust a stranger the kids just met, and in one particular case, the choice is philosophically surreal.

One single mother I knew (her husband up and left her through no fault of her own, after they had had seven or so kids) was forced to work 60+ hours a week by him (nearly all of her kids have since left the church as far as I know).

Your premise would state that the J W Marriotts and Jon Huntsman’s of the world should give up their millions and billions respectively, and live like the rest of us.

 IGN: Choose Your Own Adventure
Called Adventure Player, the new software is a two-piece kit: a UMD game disc for playing adventures saved to Memory Stick Duo on PSP, and a downloadable PC software tool that can be used to create adventure games.
Software will be created for the PSP UMD game app by professional adventure creators (three games will be included in the UMD, including two FromSoft originals and a new version of the first Echo Night), and independent adventure designers will also be able to create their own games for download and play.
Adventure games are the most obvious creations to expect out of the software, but there are already projects underway to use the software for quiz games, love sims (including one already in the works where you learn how to 'date' Japanese idol girls), and an English-language tutorial.

 Choose Your Own Adventure: The Abominable Snowman Review - Video/DVD for Kids at iVillage.com
In CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN, animal-loving Crista (Lacey Chabert), brainiac adventurer Benjamin (Frankie Muniz), and fun-loving Marco (Daryl Sabara) are summoned to Nepal to help their Uncle Rudy (William H. Macy) track down the legend of the Yeti.
When kids choose what to do next, parents also have an opportunity to talk to them about what's safe: When, if ever, should you go with someone you don't know but says he was sent by your parents?
In the end, the DVD has its own moral: If Benjamin, Crista, and Marco stay on course and don't let themselves be distracted, they accomplish their goals and discover a secret about themselves and their parents.
