I won't repeat what Humboldt said, but instead I will give my input on the technical part of such a pasta.

Writing from a child's perspective is both challenging and fun. I would say that vocabulary is key to making your story sound believable. Try to write in the most simple words you can find that don't ruin the atmosphere you want to built.

I hate to promote myself in blogs such as this, but I recently wrote a short story (I Am a Big Boy) that is told from the child's perspective. If you read the story, you will notice that I rarely used descriptive words. Also, I used very few descriptions altogether (the few that I have are there for some other reason that has to do with the ending of the story).

Writing in short sentences is a way to make your prose more 'childlike' too. But don't go overboard with this, as it can make the story come out 'jagged' and rushed.

Synopsizing, try to find the simplest words you can and put them into the shortest sentences possible and be careful when using descriptions. Also, try to balance your prose a bit to make it sound more natural and smooth.

I hope this helped.
