I have been through a lot of sermons in my day, but I have never heard that passage be used so out of context.
Are you listening to jewish or Mormon sermons? Islamic sermons also donot teach this principle... That said bible based Christianity does.
in mat 11:
25 Then Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. I am thankful that you have hidden these things from those who are so wise and so smart. But you have shown them to people who are like little children. 26 Yes, Father, you did this because it’s what you really wanted to do.
I guess this little bit was 'hidden from you.'

Because it's so much easier to convince children to just believe. Santa Clause, The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny....
Ring a bell? Also - children naturally want to please their parents so if the parents say there's a god, it must be true. We call this ........
wait for it...........
I think you already know..............
But you knew that already.
Maybe your kids were retards, but mine were constantly challenging the stories in search of the truth, and when they found truth they built their lives around it. Maybe the bible should say if you children are retarded and believe everything this does not apply to them... but to the other 99% who seek out the truth and live by it.
