Naïveté (from French; commonly Anglicised to naivety) is the state of lacking experience or understanding and/or having a lack of sophistication; innocent simplicity. Much usage of the term appears pejorative — employed when the speaker does not wish to value child-like innocence or a child-like state.
Or you could that the children in Peter Pan have a certain Naïveté.
