That's a good article about benefits of different sized rods. It however only indirectly addresses the issue about children. The rod is a lever and at increasing lengths feels heavier and is less accurate is pointed out. This will come into play sooner with a shorter arm casting arod. So where you make the compromise with weight, distance, coordination and accuracy is not necessarily the same as the typical adult. That's why rods marketed for kids tend to be shorter than those for adults.
