no. I think that they can avoid being cynical or jaded.I would love to have my wonder back.

Yes. If you really look, it's still there, just as you left it. But first you have to quiet the years worth of noise in your mind, and look with truly open eyes and with the keenness of a child. I lost it when I was really unhappy for awhile, and sometimes I get caught up in the mundane parts of life and lose it again, but when I slow down and am present enough, the wonder is there, as brilliant as ever. Try reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, I think it might be of interest to you.

No. You cannot see things through the eyes of a child once you become an adult. Experience, great teacher that it is, also grounds us, mostly for our own good. Great thought, though.
