Can various promotions which feature a child teaching an adult, play a part in children rebelling in our day?
I say yes! It has caused children to try new things against the wishes of their experienced parents because they feel that their thoughts are out of date. (proverbs 23:22) How do you feel about this?

If you HONESTLY believe "children rebelling in our day" is something 'new', you haven't been paying attention;
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
