I disagree with the prefrontal cortex being entirely at fault as there are kids out there that are entirely capable of avoiding dumb stuff and do take warnings. There are also adults entirely capable of doing exactly the same shit while having a prefrontal cortex entirely developed.
We only take notice of the ones who don’t because they are the ones who make the news cycle and click baits such as this article we’re all commenting on here. Another thing we’re all addicted to and is not entirely only affecting children but also adults alike.
I think you are also touching on impulse control which does get into mental health area which is another topic overlooked area when parenting and acknowledgment in what kind of limits should be nuanced from kid to kid. They are individuals. Not a hive mind.
