One goal with your photography is to try and show people the world in a new and interesting way. Probably one of the easiest ways to do this is to change people's perspective on how they usually look at things - literally.
In the US men are, on average 5'9" tall and women are 5'6" - if you are around that height and you stand there taking pictures, you are essentially showing people what they would they would already see themselves. Finding new perspectives mean get down low, get up high, get close, and anything else that breaks you out of that standard mold.
For kids that often means get down to their level - kneel down and shoot at their eye level. Below is a series of images I took of my daughter. In each of these I was kneeling to be closer to her level.
This also works for various other things like shooting weddings, bands, and portraits.
