They do learn to have agency: think plan ahead and make your own decision. Live with the consequences of your decision. As I noted every decision is modulated by parental intervention — if a kid made an obvious mistake, possibly intervene early “are you sure you want six bao? Just take a couple — you can always have more” or late “ok, but see the problem? Next time let’s be more careful.” Yeah, parenting is non-algorithmic, and once (if?) you get good at it it’s too late to do it again. |

Arguably multi-generational households with grandparents on hand are able to take advantage of this. This is perhaps not as useful as it was centuries ago, due to how fast society and the situations a family might face have shifted.
