General Tips:

Ensure it is a positive experience for your child. Young children can sense the nervousness of parents and understand far more than we imagine. 

Try to put yourself in their shoes - facing a stranger and being under scrutiny (imagine how it feels to be interviewed).

It can be a long and tiring day especially for the local schools. Ensure you pack enough snacks. A hungry and tired child will easily be grumpy.

By all means enrol your child in a program to help interview skills but select carefully as many centres charge high costs.
