How do children study a native language and how do adults “feel” their native language?

I’ve seen a topic from a guy, who’s been living in a foreign country with a new language environment for 7 years (he had some basic knowledge about a language before he moved). The language he’s studying is my native language. He writes great, I saw just few small mistakes. However…

A native speaker would never make mistakes such those. Not because knowledge, but just by feel. I’d like to say a 7yo child would never make mistakes such those either. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to reduce achievements of that guy, but I’m trying to describe what exactly I mean in my question and what kind of thoughts came me here

So, my questions are how exactly children study a native language, what’s a difference in study a native language in a language environment between children and adults, how do natives feel their native language and how to start to feel a foreign language? Is the thing only in parents, who give to a child more than an adult with knowledge, skills and something can get himself, or there's something else?

Thanks y’all in advance!
