The pronoun "you" in English has various corresponding words in Spanish. It really isn't divided into adult/child as much as formal/informal. Of course, you would normally use the informal forms when speaking to children, but also to friends and family members.
You (singular/formal) = usted
You (plural/formal) = ustedes
You (informal/singular) = tú (in sone regions "vos")
You (informal/plural) = vosotros (rarely used outside of Spain)

Do you mean the formal pronoun - 'usted' vs the informal one 'tú'?
