a lot of kids dramas have their parents gone or in jeopardy in Childrens's literature. I read in anthropology somewhere it art is play with form. Play is learning through imitation. So kids are learning how to be independent with these dramas that, like you, I used to think, as an adult were weirdly common. Never read Harry Potter by the way.
