It is true that the young are untrammeled, so they remain more open, allowing, trusting, and able to have perceived intuitive perceptions. And thus, will see things adults cannot, many times, and will be aware of higher vibrational beings like guides and angels, and may well take that for granted as just part of the environment because they have not been culturally conditioned as yet to disbelieve in such things. The problem with tapping into the young is that their prayer power is unlikely to be focused and hold the right intention to deal with adult-level problems, and that cannot simply be requested, because everything depends on intention and not simply words. So they can mimic any string of words as an instruction or request for them to pray about, but without holding the true and deep intention you would like to see be addressed, their prayer will have little value compared to that of an adult.
While they are young and innocent and seemingly pure, that does not mean they are unrestricted either, because karma begins to bubble up even in the womb. So even young children who have not yet been traumatized will begin having karmic reawakening of difficulty, and that will begin to complicate things for them and make them more emotionally volatile, and can undercut their otherwise youthful vigor and resilience. So their ability to move mountains is much less certain than you might think, trusting in their innocence and openness alone to do the job. They are better at helping themselves personally, because that is a kind of built-in instinct, and the desire to deal with any kind of perceived difficulty will help them launch a strong intention even without knowing the words to describe it. So things like self-healing can be quite effective in the young, more so than their ability to help the world as yet.
