Well it's harder for them because they are kids and their brains are still developing. You've had a lifetime of experiences to draw from where you use math concepts subconsciously many times a day.
Totally true. They haven't learned to learn yet, they aren't learning because they want to, or even because they need what they learned.
But the point I was trying to make is, that many adults are still afraid (and many even strongly so) of maths, because it was hard for them at school. But it probably wouldn't be hard for them now.
