Is there an evolutionary psychology explanation why childlrenchildren have high pitched voices?

I have come across purely mechanical reasons that explain why children have piping/high pitched voices - length of trachea etc. However, I find myself wondering whether there isn't a deeper evolutionary reason why the mechanics evolved that way. Is there a Kinderschema type explanation for this? I have attempted to find information on the subject and turned up nothing - perhaps because I am simply not searching for the right thing. Perhaps someone here can help.
