1 John 2:12 Douay-Rheims

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

"Little children" means those whose sins have been forgiven.

He then indicates the stages of advancement and progress of souls that are still located in the flesh; and calls those whose sins have been forgiven, for the Lord's name's sake, "little children," for many believe on account of the name only.
