Yes, red-eared sliders make good pets for children, because they require less maintenance and responsibility than a cat or dog. But make sure the child knows not to kiss or lick the turtle, and to wash their hands before and after touching it. Turtles can carry diseases like salmonella, and they can also get sick from the germs humans carry.
