IME if teenagers behave like 5 year olds it's because at 5 they weren't
allowed to behave like teenagers.

That's profound....

Indeed and very true. My wife's a psychologist, and as she says when we
see some teenager having a strop with their parents "Oh look, another
badly behaved parent." Parents mostly blame other people, usually the
child, but mostly it's the parent at fault when things break down.

I think that there is some truth in that. The question is then in
what way do (or more likely did) the parents misbehave?

If it was *did*, then the question becomes what, if anything can be
done about it - i.e. does raiding the museum help?
