I'm not sure that I'd lean on a childs ethics as an ideal of form. If that's what we're calling natural, though, I have no problem with that.
Do you think that children might ever do or say something, or think about things a particular way, that you could take moral issue with? Something that may be natural and satisfy any number of instinctual urges? Do we apply the rule of never second guessing nature when children misbehave? We could consider this with any specific misbehavior, but also the general instinct to misbehave as a part of boundary testing.
I don't think that the statement you made about nature and instinct reflects what you believe about the moral field. Or, if it does, then you've got a tough pickle to work out, where your beliefs about the moral field make your objections to the moral fields of others and changes to those moral fields both self referentially false and morally wrong.
If nature has somehow made our instincts conform to what's best for us in this moral conversation, and we should never question nature - then religions which preach inequality for women and gays as a consequence of nature and instinct would be true - and it would be morally wrong to question them. .......Somehow.......... I don't think that this is what you're trying to express?
