How do you interact with children?

I'm starting to reconnect with some of my old friends from high school but they have a 5-year-old now and I want to make a good impression but I don't really know how to interact with children. Do I just like ask them what their favorite Disney movie is or something?

Just talk with them like normal humans and pretend that you are a giant 5 year old.

I used a lot of words to say much the same. If you treat them like smaller and dumber adults, you're just another boring big person.
