As children grow up, it is not just their bodies that grow, but also their brains. If you study the development of the brain and children's ability to understand things and indeed recognize emotions and dangers, it is clear that this development is not complete until at least the age of 18. And children rely on their parents or carers to guide and even keep them safe up to this age. It would therefore seem reasonable to require a person voting to be mentally mature which is why children are not allowed to vote.
