Not being able to kill child NPCs is not a problem.

I would settle for a backhand slap that sends them running away to cry. What would be even better is if they would "remember" and not get uppity with you next time. Being talked down to by almost every child in the game is rather immersion breaking. Like when Froki's grandson tells me something to the effect of "You don't look tough, I'm only 11, but I could take you." and I'm standing there in full ebony armor, enchanted with the vanquished souls of my enemies, a daedric war-hammer that weighs more than him slung across my back.

No that I think about it, maybe all children in Skyrim are narcissistic sociopaths!

Seems Froki's grandson is just another regular kid.. I could come with a tank in real life and my son would still "Dad come here, am gonna slap you".. Children ARE overconfident.. Atleast in IRL..

Risk is, that if you slap someone's kid.. You are gonna have the family on you and perhaps even the guards..

be prepared to get this topic locked, you're not allowed to have your own thoughts.

and i hope by "back hand" you mean "decapitate"

Has anyone tried to cast Fear on them? Closest thing you'll get

What is with people and children in this game??? I know they can be really annoying at times but there's really no reason to go so far as to "back-handing" them or whatever.
