Supporting your third paragraph, I had some contact with the unschooling movement while growing up. The experience is typically that kids will do nothing for a while. Maybe quite a while. But then they get bored, and start to pursue things they find interesting. Art, music, literature, science, programming. You sort of need to detox from living under a very defined structure before you learn to self direct and spend time doing things you enjoy. It also seems possible that this transition could become more difficult as people age. Intuitively that makes sense to me, and might partially explain why some adults have a hard time transitioning into retirement.
