Actually, -ish is a suffix, not a prefix. A prefix is the front part of a word. For instance, take the word immature. That means childish, and the prefix is im- which means not. So an immature person is not mature, but childish.

If you want another suffix for child that makes the meaning the same, you can add -like. So a person can be childlike.
