Hi Steve,
That depends on what's happening? Sure if an angle lower than the child and
looking up is going to make an interesting picture, go for it.

Where this might occur? Good question, but given where kids climb on monkey
bars at the park or play grounds is a possibility. It's a moment that may or
may not occur at anytime, but the photographer must always be awake!!!!!!!!!
and thinking and seeing possibilities all the time.

It could be a situation where the quick reaction of the photographer
dictates he just flops on the floor in a lying position simply for a more
dramatic angle.  In most cases there are no hard and fast rules when
shooting children, however, there is one that makes a major difference of
perspective and that one is............ bending the knees improves the
picture!
