Besides the soft skulls 1, most parents are protective and have been trained that cycling is dangerous, 2, society often legislates to protect children because they are assumed to not have the reasoning skills to make informed decisions themselves (eg. regulation of cots, baby seats), and 3, children are over-representated (here) in bike stats because they are, well, kids (developing peripheral vision and judgement of speed, focused on the activity at hand, poor road skills, teenage male risk behaviours etc etc).
