What can I do to prevent/educate a kitten from chewing wires?

I just got my first kitten 2 weeks ago. She is 14 weeks old and likes to chew everything. I bought a couple of toys and she seems to enjoy them very much. But as soon as she gets access to some kind of cord she starts to chew them.

I try to keep the electrical chords unaccessible (it takes a lot of workarounds), but I usually let my battery charger, phone cables and earphones over the bed (which she climbs with ease). It's a little annoying to have to hide them every time go to the bathroom or eve\n when I'm sleeping, so I would like to know if there's something I could do to teach her not to do it.

When I spot her doing it, I usually take her away and show her a toy so to attract her attention. I wonder if there's some technique to prevent this behaviour.
