It's rude. A child should respond "yes?" and if they don't hear what an adult says, say something like "excuse me?"
My mother never let us say "nevermind" to an adult either because it's dismissive. Children should always have respect and deference for adults.
To this day I speak to my elders in a respectful manner.
