Affectionate Terms for Children
1
vote
I've seen the thread on affectionate terms for your daughter, but I'm wondering what are some affectionate terms I could use with all children-- even children I have not met. Like here in the U.S., When interacting with a child (regardless of relation) we often call them "hun", "hunny", "dear", "sweetie", etc.
What are some like terms for Spanish? If there is any regional differences, I would prefer to know Mexican Spanish terms.

Can you call your 'escuincles' *hediondos*, pero sin malicia? - cristalino, FEB 18, 2011
