Provided a responsible/knowedgeable adult is there to assit the child with the correct way to look after the turtles they would be average pets. The main problem with reptiles and amphibians is that they do not respond too well to human handling and reactions. Far better for a child to have a mammal (dog? cat? mouse? rat?)as a pet.
some times but not all the time

Because they are turtles
They can be a bit boring but they're also fun too!
Turtles do have ear canals. however their hearing is not good, They are very sensitive to vibrations.
yes, they are. although I would not recommend turtles as a good kid pet anyway. if you are going to give your child a turtle, mud turtles are a good beginner turtle. as are box turtles. I have three turtles, a mud turtle, a box turtle, and a spotted turtle, and I am 13. Although it is also a question of how responsible you or your child is.
English sheepdogs are very good with other pets and also with children.
