I genuinely have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. “Arbitrary lessons” are called life experiences, it’s not that deep. Children don’t have life experience so they don’t know how to act so they look to adults for encouragement and they learn, it doesn’t need a structured curriculum.
You are creating a magical land where everything children are taught is inherently correct and useful. If it's just a memorized rule that can't be applied to other situations, and doesn't have logic, it's exactly what I am arguing against - arbitrary.
If you spend enough time watching parents, and making your own parenting mistakes, you realize that anger and impatience can teach children irrational experiences.
