Some of those complaints are legitimate, though? Possibly even all of them, depending on context. Are the kids actually being negative, or are they just not interested in the things that their mom wants them to like?
"Camp is boring!” - I dislike outdoorsy activities, so I would probably also say this.
"This one annoying boy is always following me!” - This is potentially alarming.
"Suzy Q got her ears pierced, so why can’t I?” - Does LW have a reason for not letting her kid get their ears pierced? Earrings are a fairly basic fashion choice.
"It’s too hot.” - Look at the heat waves. It is indeed too hot.
"I hate going to the pool.” - Body image issues, a dislike of swimming in chlorinated water, or even just a dislike of swimming in particular could be relevant.
