In the last few decades, urban prosperity has made our children thrive. This investment in our childrens' health is visible in classrooms. Children are now taller, stronger and are exposed to a variety of things in the world early in their life.If you just go by their looks and talk they are like adults.
Emotionally however they are as much kids, as one would expect to be at their age. Material prosperity can't really speed-up emotional development of a child. Some times surprisingly small silly things excite them exposing their innocence.
This creates a, sort of, illusion between what you expect from their looks versus how they really behave emotionally. They are like smaller age kids trapped in the body of grown-ups, leading to a mismatch in our expectations from them.
To some extent, this may be unfairly contributing to our perception of todays generation being immature.
