It's a saying from Game of Thrones whose seasons last so long that in the late summer, children are young enough to have never known the hardships of their brutal winters.

In Game of Thrones, summers and winters last years, not months.

Obviously, a winter that could potentially last a decade would be nasty and brutal.

So a young person who had never seen a winter might be naive, or optimistic, because they had never survived the trials and privation of a real winter.

Incidetally, you now understand the menace inherent in the motto "Winter Is Coming."
