I remember one vacation to Paris as a kid, maybe 12 years old. There was a science museum I wanted to see, so my parents stuffed a bunch of Francs into my hands and wished me luck and shuffled me out of the hotel room. You have to learn these skills at some point. I had a thoroughly lovely day pressing random buttons on random exhibits and I can still remember it all clearly now over 30 years later.

I'm loathe to imagine what kind of trouble they might get into now for that.

One of the most underrated things about living in a Western country compared to say India is that your 13 year old daughter can ride a bicycle to field hockey practice without ending up in a snuff movie.
