Native speaker’s answer

Yes, it is a mistake on the part of the speaker. I think he wanted to say either "children" or "kids" but ended up saying "childrens" instead. It is incorrect, and the correct sentence is "ask children/kids to explain love." Ex: I want to ask kids for their thoughts about the President. = I want to ask children for their thoughts about the President.
