Assuming you believe that, it should be rather obvious that when we are discussing how a child isn't be raised properly, or how a child should be raised, we are doing so with the end product (adulthood) in mind. Otherwise, it's nonsensical. We want to teach and influence our children in a way that produces reasonably well-adjusted adults in society, although it doesn't always work out.
Would you agree that childhood events and teachings are far more impactful on a person's psyche and development than those of adolescents? As someone who spent a large chunk of their early adulthood working with abused children I can assure you this is the case. You can build a house from the top down, but it's much more difficult and it's much more likely the results will be less than ideal than if you build from the foundation up.
