I think theres too much unnecessary seriousness pushed on them at an early age now, like sex ed, and complex home work.

I suggest it's just the opposite. Kids these days have hundreds of outlets and opportunities for play and imagination. A hundred years ago, before child labor laws, children were often expected to work in the family store or company after school. They had chores that included housekeeping, milking cows, gathering eggs. When our life expectancies were shorter, children were expected to grow up faster and assume adult responsibilities at an earlier age.
