The advantage of this 18mm is less distortion and you can use screw in filters.
Too bad I went for the Tamron 17-28mm for travel, everyday use, I can use super 35 to extend to 42mm. I also have the Viltrox mark i 85mm flashed to f1.6 aperture. I know I am missing 40mm-80mm range but I find those range not usable for me, I could get a 45mm or 50mm 1.8 but I'm happy with the 2 lens set-up that I got which covers my style of photography.

How many child/children in the picture? If it's 1, you can get something like the zeiss 55 if using indoors or in limited space. Outdoors or where space is less of an issue, the Sony 85 1.8 is a good choice. If you are shooting more than one child then honestly The tamron 28-75 would be ok since you probably don't want to shoot 85 wide open due to narrow depth of field which would lead to someone being blurry unless you get all of them on the exact same plane.
If you wanted a wide angle for portraits then I would think a 35mm is the widest that I would go.
BTW, the 28-75 is already fantastic for portraits. At 75mm with f2.8 on a full frame sensor, you get plenty of subject isolation (background blur).
