Why can't children learn magic?
There isn't much at all for children sims to do. I really wanted them to be included in mermaids and RoM, they are ignored. It was awesome they included children in the vampires pack, but why are kid ...

The simplest answer- teens through elders have the same body. They wear the same clothes and perform the same actions. Children would require new clothing and animations for a different sized Sim. Any time you wonder why children can't do something, THAT is the answer.
What I can't answer is why they don't want to put the time and effort into the new animations. Although, that is probably answered best by looking at why teens are the same height as adults- it was the easiest thing to do.
I agree that this is the reason, but you sort of imply that they were simply too lazy to do it. They have a budget and delivery date to meet, just like anyone else. Kids were 'out of scope'.
I wish they'd included kids, too, and even some 'accidental' magic for toddlers, since it's a life-state, but to do that, they would have needed more people and more time, or would have had to leave out things that were included. I suspect the marketing surveys don't show a huge interest in playing kids, which is why the packs tend to favour YAs. (Of course, if kids had more to do, more people might be interested in playing them.)
