I wouldn’t recommend the RP for birds in flight, sports or fast moving children, but for just about everything else I shoot, I love it, and even though it could be better for fast moving children, it almost always nails focus on my grandchildren's eyes.

Are you saying that the AF is good, but frame rate is not for shooting fast moving children?

My issue photographing my young grandchildren is not frame rate, but EVF lag. I always shor with at least one flash, so I’m shooting in single shot mode and trying to follow the kids while they play. The image I capture is rarely the image I saw in the EVF when I pressed the shutter release.

See the page 393 of user manual. Change the viewfinder performance from the default "power saving" to "smooth" and see if that helps.  I am not an RP user, so I can't speak from my own experience.
