I think that TX's junior jumbo suggestion's the best so far because not only do you have the short scale, but the shorter scales inherently have less tension at pitch.
Top it off with silk'n'steels and possible a touch of set-up to lower the action a tad, and you have an instrument that's actually very easy for a kid to play.
My 8 year old nephew got a First Act from well-meaning but unknowledgable grandparents at Christmas last year, and then a "back-packer"-sized Luna from me, and greatly prefers the Luna.
Short scale, easy to play, and just feels like a "real" guitar.
