Little skeptics grow up and learn to manipulate the world around them subtly, scooting around, in a world where “not getting caught” is a pretty big deal.

oh that won’t happen. After the age of 7, parent/teacher influence has minimal impact.
Social groups, entertainment, non-parent/teacher adult influence (unless it’s a spectacular parent or teacher) – these things have the most power to influence 7+.

By the time they’re adolescent? Typically peer-only. Too late by then. They start learning the BS that is the Adult-World starting around the age of 7 and it continues on. Little skeptics grow up and learn to manipulate the world around them subtly, scooting around, in a world where “not getting caught” is a pretty big deal.

Thankfully MOST of that ends by the age of 25 or so when adolescence finishes up.

But ’til then? Whatever happens, happens. Consequences are just this impactless ‘thing’ unless experienced — or unless the individual tends to live in their heads… and even THEN consequences are amplified or reduced strongly by emotional states…. at least in neurotypicals… whatever that really is.
