It's really up to them.
Though, I would suggest an Electric Guitar since it is easier to learn on; but after learning how to play an acoustic guitar first, the electric should be much easier.
You should consider going to a music store and let them decide which one they are more comfortable playing, you may decide to buy both!

No, but it's best to play acoustic then move onto electric, because if you learn electric first, then transition to acoustic your fingers will be used to electric guitar strings and won't be tough enough to play chords well on an acoustic.

Is an acoustic guitar a good guitar for beginners?
Not really. That is, an acoustic guitar is not any more of a "beginner's" instrument than an electric guitar is. It might be cheaper, and it may be quieter (or possibly not: you can practice an electric guitar without actually plugging it in, or with headphones), both of which are reasons parents might choose to purchase a child an acoustic guitar instead of an electric one. If you learn to master an acoustic, then you will have an easier time learning to play an electric. This is simply because acoustic guitars require more precision to make each note ring true. Also: an acoustic requires more finger pressure and therefore more finger strength and calluses. An electric is easier on the finger tips, but is also more sensitive as far as technique. My best answer is to practice on both to develop the most versatility. But if sound is an issue, an electric is quieter if you don't plug it into an amp.

You must play acoustic guitar first to play electric guitar or no?
it is true that it doesn't matter, but when it comes to the price of an electric and accoustic guitar depends on the brand, I've seen some accoustic guitars that are more than an electric guitar(Silvertone) that comes with the amplifier, picks, tuner, strings, and DVD. So really, when you get a guitar, choose the one that you like best and then find the best brand (like silvertone). Nope. It really doesn't matter. I think the reason most people seem to play acoustic first though is because of the cost. You won't have to go out and buy the guitar, and amp, and cables etc.. if you just get an acoustic.
