The same way a kid is walkin and talkin, singin and dancin by age two.
Osmosis.
Is this joke, or are you somehow trying to be serious?
As easily as learning language a child can osmosisize appropriate behavior into responsible adulthood and thus realize freedom under all the rules.
Which is in reply to your following past observation of:

If yes, then great. But,
If no, then how do i, or any child, KNOW what is acceptable and proper behavior in YOUR household?
I think you have missed understanding my clarifying questions for what they really are.
I was not stating an observation that I had made at all. I just asked you two clarifying questions. The first question was seeking a yes/no answer. The second question was in relation to if you answered no.
Your reply was a response, but I do not see it as being in response to my clarifying questions at all.
As for your stated observation, I see osmosis as being true too, however, your reply is also conditioned very much on a definition of and for the words 'appropriate', 'responsible', 'freedom', and 'under the rules' as these are highly subjective terminology. Some might even suggest that the words "freedom under the rules" could be seen as a contradiction in terms.
However, in saying all that, what you are talking about is a child under your care for a period of time. What I was talking about and now obviously what I should have made more clear was how would i, or any child NOT IN YOUR CARE, KNOW what is acceptable, proper, and appropriate behavior, TO YOU, in YOUR household?
How much time in your "care" is needed before "appropriate behavior" osmosisizes into a child, to your OWN set of guidelines and rules? And, then how much time is needed before this happens in children to EVERY adult's own set of guidelines and rules? Or, is there only one set of guidelines and rules that EVERY adult agrees with, which the understanding of, and the following of, by ALL children SHOULD osmosisize within?
