Myself I have never given much thought to Jesus’s early life. Except to note that the Gospels make it clear that he had brothers and sisters and was not an only child as Catholicism claims.

Maybe we should in principle, if John at least touched on it. In the sense that here is a boy, or a young man, behaving in a manner that is imbued with the spirit of God.

Jesus didn’t have to get saved, He always WAS there. If we can envision the conduct under such circumstances of the best born again Christian we could think of, it would be a floor, not a ceiling, for the manner of Jesus.

I think looking at the Protestant/Catholic disagreements aren’t very edifying in this wise; the boy Jesus apparently wasn’t spared a social life under any explanation that has been proffered.
