Talking to a child as if they were an adult can be intimidating and may make the child feel uncomfortable. It is important to communicate in a way that is appropriate for the child's age and development. The other options, such as offering refreshments, conveying excitement about meeting the child, having toys available, and getting down to the child's level, can help to create a positive first impression and establish a comfortable rapport.
