And do you believe in simplifying the Bible for the young?

No, I do not.

However, after having said that, I will say this: if the pastors and teachers in a church cannot correctly teach the Word of God to the young, then they have no business pastoring or teaching.

It is the duty of church leaders and teachers to take God's Word, and, well, 2nd Timothy says it clearly enough,

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

If the kids aren't learning, then the leaders aren't doing their job, pure and simple. No simplification of the Word is necessary, kids are smart and they will quickly pick up on it if they are taught correctly.

And thus I assume that you never have given your children a ‘childs book of bible stories’ with pictures etc, and only gave them the full Bible of whatever translation you find acceptable? Or that you believe in any sort of child focused religious literature?
