How do babies and toddlers cry and scream so much without damaging their vocal cords?

I’m sitting here wondering how my toddler niece can cry this loud day after day, while if I sing along to a concert for 2 hours my voice gets strained for a couple of days.

They’re completely relaxed and have no social inhibitions. We’re socialized to stfu from a young age (inside voice, shhh, etc). People who spend lots of time singing extremely loudly like opera singers have to untrain this inhibition and tension so that they can sing above 100 dB for hours at a time.
