Keeping in mind that you likely may not have a number of visits on this trip, eye-level eye contact is very important. Smiles, soft voices - especially from Dad (if there is a dad - sorry don't know your specifics) - but you may have to intiate physical contact in your first visit rather than wait. These kids are used to adults telling them what to do and when so it might not be too imposing to initiate physical contact, touching or taking a hand (for an older toddler), stroking hair, etc, and let it build slowly. Always ask permission before giving any food because you don't know their schedule of any posssible food allergies. Enjoy every minute.
