Western kids live in a weird bubble that is totally devoid of any meaningful agency, so they act like bored inmates. Seriously?

  Yes. Just like adults, kids thrive on meaning - having a role to play, being useful, seeing the impact they have on the world. Kids very quickly figure out the difference between real responsibility and make-work and act accordingly. Our beliefs about the abilities of children are powerful self-fulfilling prophecies.
