As I said before - speaking from experience - kids attending boarding school get all the love and support that other kids get and they don't grow up too soon, they just learn some essential life skills too. I speak of the hundreds that I have met over the years. Why would you think otherwise ? Assumptions and speculations from a point of no experience simply don't hold water with me.
