Young children should really use graphite shafts, they help them get the ball in the air easier and they are a lot lighter than the steel ones. Any clubs I have seen designed specifically for children have graphite shafts. When they get a bit older and stronger say 13-14 they may be able to move on to steel, because their swing speed will have increased and they are a lot stronger. Girls however tend to stay with graphite as they have slower swing speeds and the graphite shafts help get the ball in the air.

I would recommend graphite shafts for kids. Kids have slower swing speeds, graphite shafts are more flexible and give a higher launch than steel, and graphite shafts are a lot lighter.
