I'm happy that it inspired you. And yes, it works the same with children and adults. It's a simple way to win the friendship of someone you've just met and to strengthen a difficult relationship. As you say, it pays to have it in your โtoolboxโ.
I think another aspect of this is that if Person A asks Person B for help or for a favor. It means that Person A holds Person B in high esteem, at least concerning the matter at hand. Thus, there is flaterry implied.

Hello Curing! :)
Yes, indeed, basically that's part of the explanation why this effect happens. Ben Franklin's story points to just what you have described.
