There are plenty of true stories in the world of children 9 and 10, and even 7 who through some circumstance or other have been forced to provide for themselves alone, and they manage it- taking up burdens many of our "snowflakes" can't handle at 20. Some of it is early training, but some of it is just sheer grit and determination. If a 9 year old girl wants to learn how to weld, and her parent can teach her- including all the safety measures that need to be taken- she can probably do it. In fact a young child is often MORE conscientious of safety measures than an adult might be. And obviously, there was someone supervising her, or the picture wouldn't have been taken.
