Thanks

For a young child this may be the wrong choice entirely. I would
consider setting the machine to auto-logon, and start the GUI session as
that user. This allows you to keep a good, non-crackable password on
the machine for their account, so that it is hard to crack open that
machine via the network.
I am afraid that I don't know if there are hooks for auto-login in
Fedora Core...

Whats your child name and your surname?
I did my sisters (who was 4 at the time like this)
Create the user then reset the password as root. root is allowed to set
stupid passwords.
Then assuming you're only exposing something like ssh, why not just restrict
which users can login through it:
