Great director of child actors

The majority of Hirokazu Koreeda's films feature prominent roles for children and, without exception, he draws wonderfully natural, unaffected work from his young actors. Is there a better director of kids currently working in world cinema?

Yûya Yagira - 14 at the time - actually won the best actor award at Cannes for Koreeda's Nobody Knows. The work of the child actors in Hana, Still Walking, I Wish, Like Father Like Son, After the Storm and Shoplifters is every bit as memorable.
