Children photography can sound easy, they are so spontaneous and expressive... However the child might not want to smile to the camera, let even face the camera, even more if you are shooting for an hour or so!
Asking a child a specific pose can be a bit tricky. It can work better if the shooting is perceived as a game, it's good to leave some space to the child, let him/her express himself and do what he wants. You can also use some of his toys as photo props. All of these will help. You'll want to give some directions, but also let the child do his own things too.
Using your camera high speed will also help you capture the best moments.
