Clearly I’m not a believer in the old motto ‘never work with kids’.
Why would you not work with them when there’s so much fun to be had.
The thing about photographing kids of any age is to realise that they generally won’t do what you want – they’ll do what they want. Which is only a problem if you want them to ‘sit still and smile’.
But if you want them to go out and be themselves, doing what they want is all you can wish for.
You just have to be able to capture it in all a photograph!
