Because of the periosteum. The periosteum is a layer of tissue under the skin. In children, the periosteum is thicker and stronger which makes it able to heal faster.

 The bones benefit from a thick periosteum because the oxygen and nutrient supply to the bone is higher making it heal faster.


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
