Child-like characters?

[Averax]

No, not Lalas. I mean younger version of the available races.
Is there a reason we don't have them as an option to pick?

They wouldn't be child-like then. They would be children.

Lalas are child-like. They appear as young children, but are fully grown adults.

But SE doesn't like the idea of creating playable children and thrusting them into violent situations where several people are actively trying to murderize you. Remember the entire MSQ and think to yourself that you wouldn't be horrified if a child was doing those things. "Hey lets send this kid alone into the bowl of embers to fight a god because he has the echo and we don't."
