Using honey, sweetheart, hun, dear is OK if you are using it on girls. Not for boys.

Use bud, buddy, kiddo, champ, dude, cool guy, and other masculine nicknames for boys.

I hated buddy when I was a kid.

if I don't know their name, I usually go with "hey kid"

what's wrong with calling them by their actual name?

Hint: Hi, I'm -your name- what's yours? Second best: Read the chart!

I'd just start something like:

Hi Buddy/Kiddo, I'm Dr Guido (or Nurse Guido or whatever). What's your name? And then go from there and call them by their name.
