Because you have brought Christianity into this I cannot avoid another quote
or two from Jesus.

"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the
kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19.14

"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never
enter the kingdm of heaven." Matthew 18.3

"Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven." Matthew 18.4

"Whoever receives one  such child in my name receives me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better
for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in  the depth of the sea." Matthew 18.5-6

Jesus thought the world of children and their simplistic attitude toward life,
but more than that he appreciated their simple faith.
