Yeah, personally I usually like the "quiet, wise child with the inexplicable maturity of an adult" trope, particularly if the kid is either the child of genius parents or a mysterious foundling. But I hate when a child character is given mannerisms/behaviors/etc that are distinctly too young for them with no explanation. I am so repulsed by that "cutsey" stuff.

But probably there are people out there who feel the opposite way. They just want kid characters to be young and cute and take naps and carry around stuffed animals and suck their thumbs and mispronounce words and squeal thinks like, "Daddy! Kisses!" as much as possible.

So I guess there's always the strong chance that you're alienating some of your readers, one way or the other.
