I liked that young kid version of the young kid in Almost Famous.
The kids in Spy Kids are pretty good too. They aren't particularly cute, or funny or witty, but they're pretty natural. They're like Everykid.

Shame on you. 
She did an excellent job in Beautiful Girls.

Ah, always nice to contribute to an old thread.
My favorite child actor is probably Ann Carter, who was the star of The Curse of the Cat People and in a bunch of other movies, such as The Two Mrs. Carrolls.
But I have to also mention the two girls in FairyTale A True Story, because their performances are just phenomenal.
I also thought Liesel Matthews was very good in A Little Princess, and both kids in Signs were great.
Finally, I'll heartily second (or is that third) the call for Lucas Black in Sling Blade.

Seeker's on the money. That girl in Whale Rider- Keisha Castle-Hughes was probably the best performance by a child I've seen, except for maybe Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun.

I know Medium Ron Howard and Big (bald) Ron Howard gained fame later in Happy Days and as a movie director, respectively. But as a child actor in TAGS, he was great.
