This kid is barely past
Often his family situation is problematic, although he may have a [[Cool Big Sis|big sister]] or [[Big Brother Mentor|brother]] he respects and admires. Said sibling may not appear (letting the audience take that role) and the '''Adorably Precocious Child''' can attach to the closest adult who lets
Compare [[Cheerful Child]], [[Innocent Prodigy]], and [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]. Sometimes also a [[Token Mini-Moe]].

* Flynn Jones of ''[[Shake It Up]]''. He handwaves that he's "the only responsible person around here", and even got a model to like him, saying he's adorable.
* Doctor Sweets of ''[[Bones]]'' definitely qualifies. He's the youngest member of the team and cannot get himself taken seriously because of it, tends to lapse into [[Sophisticated As Hell]] mid psych-babble, looks up to the two main characters as [[Parental Substitute
Line 78:
* Riku from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' was extremely perceptive and insightful at five years old, able to immediately spot an off-worlder and give Sora outstanding advice about a complicated issue.
* Bugsy from [[Pokémon]], one of the youngest Gym Leaders in the series, but also one very dedicated researcher. And while he's always deep into his research (bug Pokemon in the game, ruins in the manga), he sometimes shows a very child-like enthusiasm about what he likes. It also adds to his charm that he's [[Viewer Gender Confusion|often confused for a girl]].

** Though [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character|she didn't get much screentime or character development]], [[Token Mini-Moe|Himi]] probably also qualifies due to her precognitive powers giving her a wealth of knowledge to draw from, and she's expressly described as "not much older" than the little kids playing in her hometown.
** Thirty years prior to them in ''[[Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'', Eoleo was a [[Adorkable|dorky-looking]] toddler too young to talk, but not too young to fake crying to throw off attention, experiment with his new Psynergy powers, ''break his father out of prison'', and reason that Felix can solve the traps in Treasure Island that had the pirates stumped. And when addressed telepathically through Mind Read, he had a perplexing case of [[Little Professor Dialogue]].
