Childlike - a Christian perspective
Childlike faith--faith that is simple, direct, and honest--is praised by Jesus as the key to finding the kingdom of God. To truly understand God's kingdom, we must emulate the straightforward and earnest faith of little children.

Here Jesus is saying that we adults, should humble ourselves as childern. Note that a child has a(n)humblenss about them. Children are pure and innocent. Jesus want this from us.
Childlike Faith is the wonder and awe at what Christ did for us. It is a synergy of trust, hope, and unpretentiousness that knows the Lord loves us and will lead us. Because of our trust in the Lord, we are more able to take comfort in Him. Childlike faith sees the world as exciting and adventurous, and worth pursuing with our faith so opportunities to please God override our complacency and the attitude of “been there, done that,” even though we may have. It is a part of us that we should never lose. It enables us to maintain our humbleness and enthusiasm and not become just a subculture or routine! We are not to act like children towards others, but our faith and example must be authentic (Psalm 23; 131; Matt. 18:2-4; 34; John 10:1-18; 1 Cor. 1:22-30; James 2:14-19; Heb. 11:1).
