canadian french - baby talk

i get a lot of french kids at work who can barely talk...

- reste assoids? what?
- is "que c'est ça" an informal version of "c'est quoi ça"?
- do i say "patient" or "sois/soyez patient(e)(s)"?
- how do i say "good job" to a little kid? is it still félicitations?

on another topic: i consistently hear franco-ontarians self-identify as "french" in english. what's the colloquial french term?
