If you move out of the child's POV, make it _really obvious._ - Move that scene to its own chapter. Call it "Interlude" or something. Have the non-child POV scene be the only scene in the chapter. - If your book has Parts which are labeled, have this non-child POV scene only at the beginning of a Part, almost like a prologue. It's fine if you use this technique judiciously, but try not to overdo it. If you're finding it's too hard, then you may have to rethink the POV structure of your story.
