Depends on the child. Children are inherently trustful is what Jesus was telling them. A simple faith.It's a very good question. But....one thing is we are born that way to begin with: "He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." ... And isn't this universal, that we have a natural humility initially? The little child doesn't (yet) think he/she knows better than the adults or is above them.
I don’t think Jesus was negating our sinful nature.
