No. Generally in the United States, the parent would need to be appointed the child's guardian by a probate court and then obtain a license to sell the child's interest in the real estate.
Adding a child's name to a deed would complicate the title to the property and could result in legal costs later if the property must be sold or if you decide to take the child's name "off" the property.
Generally, if the property must be sold, a guardian would have to be appointed by a court to sell the minor's interest in the property. The property will be considered the child's property. The guardian will need to obtain a license from the court. First the court will need to appoint a 'guardian ad litem' who would review the proposed sale and report back to the court whether it is in the best interest of the child. The GAL would need to be paid for their services. There would be court costs and also attorney's fees if you need to hire an attorney. After the sale, the court would require that the proceeds be deposited and supervised on behalf of the child until they reach the age of eighteen.
There is one more factor to consider before adding a minor child's name to a deed. Once the child becomes eighteen, they will be able to manage the property on their own and the relationship may not be so friendly. They may refuse to convey the property back unless they receive compensation. Also, the property will become vulnerable to their creditors.
