WTB youth camo 20 ga.

I got my son one at Dicks around Christmas. Look for their sales and coupons and try to combine them. I walked out the door only paying $280 for the Mossberg 500 super bantam.
 
My son is 65lbs and he has shot it a few times. I think he is going to be okay with some shooting sticks to start this season to build his confidence. I took him duck hunting with it and he handled it good. Last year we used a friend's full size and he had to hold it up on a turkey for a half hour so his arms got tired. When he finally shot he wasn't holding it tight to his shoulder and it kicked him pretty hard so we are trying to get that out of his head. So make sure she keeps it tight to her shoulder and she should be fine.
 
Another thing a friend has suggested is ear plugs. He said hi son was having a hard time not being afraid and muffling the bang helped him a lot.
 
I daughter was 10 and about 70 pounds when she started shooting her Mossberg bantam. I let her practice with field loads and did the sighting in for her. I did not make her shoot a 3" turkey load until one stepped in front of her. She never noticed the kick.

She has always used shooting sticks.

Some type of ear protection should be a must - always. And year it helps in the flinching for certain.
