Yes, lighter strings and a lower action might lead to quicker results. I can also say from personal experience that it fosters bad habits.
Futhermore, now that I play my electric in B standard with 12-56 strings, the time I spent on the acoustic is invaluable. Switching from 8's or 9's to these would be very hard to do simply from a finger wear/fatigue standpoint. They're chunky.
And my youngest daughter had a strabismus. She had to wear a path over her eye for 2 years. How dare you!

I've found that kids are more likely to stick with guitar when it's not drenched in their own blood.
I learned on an electric with 8's and moved on to acoustic later.
BTW - I'm sorry about your daughter's strabismus, (I had to look that up). I hope she's better now.
