I'll add just one thought in case the OP does want to give their child a small amount of cash to spend.
Do check the currency of the country/countires visited in case they are one of the six EU countries not using the Euro.

We were in Stockholm a couple of years ago, and Denmark last year, and a noticeable number of smaller type businesses had 'no cash' signs in English. Particularly cafes and food kiosks. I haven't used cash abroad since 2012.

As a regular visitor to Sweden I can confirm cash is rarely used. Even toilets in stations & shopping centres etc are card payment.
