In my experience, weight matters far more than LOP. We fret about LOP so much with youth rifles and most can’t hold a rifle off hand anyway. I’ve had several youth (ages 8-14) that have never shot rifles use my 223 with a standard LOP. Prone or sitting they can repeatedly hit targets out to 500 yds with zero problems.
My favourite youth hunting rifle is the Kimber Montana.
