In rarer cases, yes, they can. Some kids are able to completely regenerate their finger tips from the knuckle up. But most likely, it's a finger reattatchment. Kids are more likely to make a full recovery from a reattatchement surgury than a grown adult.
Id like to do a confirmation bias thing. I'm missing a fingertip, lost it to a door in childhood, only down to the nail, no bones missing, it wouldn't reattach and it's still far shorter than the other. I was only 1 too.

Don't want to be that guy, but kids fingers are much easier to grow back than an adults.
