i asked the same type of question some time back.

Bryce just turned nine and has the bb gun mastered. Loves shooting his pellet gun.

A few months ago we ( still 8 ) went out to the local desert with a friend and his three kids and shot the following.

.22
Ranch Rifle ( forget the caliber ) super fun.
.357
9mm
12 gauge

the kids were amazing, super safe and followed all the rules

I say let her have at it.

By the way the .22 and the pellet gun have nearly the same amount of recoil.
