Soft, but quick to heal and grow. Any serious muscle building in a young child is a bad thing - their bones will set in the bent shape that has been pressed on them from an early age. As the kid/kids get older, they'll grow slower (Unless it's a boy, in which case when the growth spurts pass) and their bones will harden over time, until their about 25, and then their bones will completely set , and won't be so quick to heal any more.
