children are open to all possibilities. Unfortuntely as we grow we are told things we have seen or been a part of it is not real and we block our abilities to see the unusual. Anything is possible :-)

It's a matter of definition.
You become an adult precisely when you stop believing in things that are "impractical". Up until that point, you have a child's mind. For some people, their mental adulthood starts at a very young age. Others become intellectual adults after some traumatic experience.

I am 46 years old
faeries are real!
I believe
the reason that most adults don't believe in too much of anything is because alot of them have stopped using their intuition and imagination (which, by the way is a real energy) they are also farther away from the nature spirit kingdoms than children are, the closer you are to the birth process, the closer you are to "the other side" which is where all these magikal and wonderous creature and entities have been known to come from, children (before birth), have been nurtured by spirits and angels before ever stepping onto this earth plane. adults have to work harder at not putting up walls of disbelief than children do because they have been away from their "original" home for so long. children see things, and believe them...adults, question things... shame on the adults...they are still there.......belief is the key
I would be lost without my magikal faerie kingdom, angel realm, and so on.
they believe it us, they protect and nuture us, still
so I say, believe!

Children are open to the paranormal, preternatural, supernatural, etc. because they do not yet believe that it doesn't exist. When you get older, depending on how you were raised, you tend to get more skeptical on the unknown. And the more and more you just don't believe, the less you'll see. So maybe children it is because children see them, but as they get older they tend to reason it out?
I'm in my teen years, also a practitioner of mysticism, and I still believe in them. Well, not so much as believe, I know of them.

times change is all. less than a hundred years ago many otherwise perfectly sensible adults were more than half convinced of the existence of fairies on the basis of some photographic evidence which ooks positively laughable today, but was taken pretty seriously at the time. (the Cottingly Fairies)
but alas fashions change. and nowadays its all ufo's and crop circles and getting abducted by space-aliens thats all the rage.
but, who knows? maybe the fairies will stage a come-back one day!

Atheist isn't "non-theist". Atheists don't think in any capacity better than themselves in any respect. on the different hand, Buddhists are "non-theists" in that they dont have faith there is one substantial god who rules each and every thing. yet there are a lot of Buddhist deities.. especially interior the Tibetan custom. they don't settle for nor categorically deny the life of one substantial god ruling the heavens. ok adequate with the lesson. what's the time era for a guy or woman who believes in fairies and leprechauns? Wicca? Then Non-Wicca. discover the religion that makes use of fairies and leprechauns and make contact with your self a non-"in spite of it somewhat is" .... or purely a rationalist.

most grown ups are 'too mature' to believe in things that they cannot prove are real, whereas children do not need proof to believe in things.
to this day, my granny tells us that she has a magic wand that the faries gave her when she was a little girl for being their friend.

children tend to believe in anything you tell them especially the younger the more trusting. Tell them anything and they'll believe it because they are innocent, they don't understand how this world is really like. Children believe in fairies becuase they are trusting, they have a better imagination than adults and also because spirits tends to appear to children more than to adults because adults won't believe something that is illogical to them.

Children have a bigger imagination, and they can travel into their fanatsy worls. Grown ups have to face reality, every day life and they know from their own experience that fairies do not exist. If they existed their life would be... easier lets say.
