I think also people just instinctively feel bad turning down a child's request.

There's also that if you're 45 years old, people expect to see some accomplishments, and are skeptical if you don't have any, whereas there is no such bar for 12-year-olds other than perhaps curiosity and ambition.

It’s more that I’m happy to help people if they show me they’ve done their homework. The homework required of a 12 year old is obviously zero, because if they’re asking me they already know more than they should.
