For you, I'd recommend the 7' Vengeance spinning reel combo, or if you want a mini rod like the kiddo then get an Ugly Stik Dock Runner.
Spincasters for little kids.
Spinning reels for maybe 8 years on up, and probably the best reel for throwing on a windy day.
Baitcasters for targeted cast and retrieve fishing.
Conventionals for throwing heavy bait for waiting on a fish.
That's all a generalization, but it's mainly true.

For adults, a spinning reel isn't much harder to figure out than a spincaster, and when something goes wrong (and it will), a spinning rod is simple to sort out. Spincasters are pretty terrible for having to open up.
I would buy the five year old a Dock Demon spincaster from Walmart. They can also be had in Spiderman or Barbie variants if you prefer. It's a solid fiberglass rod that is very tough to break. I've accidentally caught a 5lb. turtle on one without issue.

I can confirm through personal experience that the Abu Garcia Black Max reels are a steal at $30 and work better than $150 Shimano Curados did 25 years ago. If you can't cast with a Black Max, it's not the reel that is the problem. The Vengeance rods aren't super premium, but they are fantastic budget setups.

This combo is great for you to start, believe me.
$55, great deal
