The kid is moving relative to you and you are moving relative to the kid, this causes the “clock paradox” of the 1905 SR theory, which Einstein finally realized was wrong and he corrected it in his 1918 paper by adding accelerative effects, gravity fields, and atomic clocks. Humans can’t accelerate fast enough to notice a biological time difference, because such a large amount of acceleration would crush them first.

For information about "thermodynamic time in biology", look it up on Google. Many scientists explain it in their papers.
