Actually, give us a little more credit than that. We, as adults, understand that there are things we no longer do as adults just because we did them as children.
My kids were allowed snacks and drinks in church as toddlers. There came a time when that was considered wrong and not once did they whine about it being ok one day and not the next.
They are now teens and still don't eat or drink in church.....
.
There are lots of things I did as a child that I don't do as an adult.
Even the Bible says 'when I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child......but when I became a man (adult), I put away childish things'.
I used to wear cute underpants (not underwear, but kinda like bloomers) under my dresses when I was a little girl. There came a time when those were no longer appropriate for me to wear and my mother stopped putting them on me.
While I understand why you said what you said, I have never agreed with anyone who says that. I've heard people tell me that about my own children and they've been proven wrong everytime.
