MODERATORS
Likely most 5 y/os once they realize you're friends with their parents will want to jabber at you themselves. Just talk to them about what they make it obvious they want to talk about at first. And don't talk in a baby voice, IE raise your voice up high and stuff-- They're little humans by that age.
Don't overthink it.
Also, play dumb. Let them tell you things you already know. And when they tell you something wrong, guide them to the right answer instead of making them feel bad for being confidently wrong.
So just like with adults
Yeah, but your "within reason" window should be wayyyy bigger.
Like, you shouldn't even let them drive sober.
There's a lot of adults you shouldn't let drive even sober
I'm one of them!
(I'm a really bad driver.)
Same!
