I guess there are a number of ways to look at a 10 year old on SCUBA. The worst case scenario and the most probable. My daughter is bilingual with German the only language spoken at home and English/Spanish (Spanish Immersion School) at school. I think that multiple languages as a child can be a hindrance to reading comprehension. She is far advance from where I was with reading comprehension at her age.

I will buy the kit and see how she does. And if she is interested and her mother agrees then allow her to try the pool certification. As for future SCUBA diving with my daughter, I would assume that both parents not a single adult would dive together. Even freediving the ratio of adult to child is more than 2 to 1.
