” what about shuckling? One would definitely not behave that way in front of a king. One certainly would not shake his fist at him as I have seen some people do..”
KIds learn from adults and follow their actions. Have you ever watched an entire class of youngsters as young as 5 or 6 years old trying to “out-schulke” one another when davening. Clearly, they have seen this from some of the rebbeim (or maybe the rebbe himself) and are simply copying their behavior w/o any idea as to why. In many cases, they don’t even understand the words of the teffilos but have unbounded shuckling energy.
