Quoted from CraZ4Pin:nudging is very easy for larger/stronger folks ... unfortunately young kids don't have quite that strength and thus, don't get to play the game like we think it is meant to be played. That's a shame.
My 8 year old 60 pound son has the GC score of almost 400M on my SM (actually has most of the high scores). You don't need to nudge to have a good game.
Quoted from phishrace:A little boy? How little are we talking here? The age where a kid (male or female) grows tall enough to see the whole playfield and understand some of the rules is around 10 or 11 years old. Little boys might play on a stool, but we shouldn't expect them to put up big scores. Pinball is not a child's toy and it never will be.
You wildly underestimate kids in both height and ability to understand the rules 
Also, when my son was 7 I watched him backhand the Doc Oct shot a full dozen times in a row. Not bad for a kid.
