If the kid engages you, then just say hi back and even ask them a quick question if you have time and is appropriate. Show you are a human being and that you are more than your uniform. I have kids that I see almost every year and I have shaken their hands before games like they were old friends. Now when I work their games they are people I can have on my side and stop other crap. You have to remember these are kids, they are looking for adults to treat them with a little bit of understanding. Saying hi is not going to take you away from doing your job.

Peace
