Can 11 year old use adult electric guitar?
Yes, absolutely. Musical talent or the eagerness to develop one has no age boundaries and there is no reason a child can not learn from the age of 2, provided the guitar is not too heavy to lift. At 11, it could be more difficult to learn than an earlier age, but if the child requests to learn or accepts the concept of musical tutelage, then it should be addressed immediately. Having said that, the size of an instrument should not be a problem as long as the player does not have any difficulty such as the weight, the awkwardness of its size or the reach. What is important is that holding the instrument the correct way should not feel like work, it should feel natural. There have been 6 year-old students that use a full sized guitar, but found the reach of a 3/4 sized one easier. For an 11, a full sized guitar should be fine.
What is the best electric guitar for kids?
If it is for music training and artistic development, based on the age, a full guitar size and something classic like a Fender or Squire stratocaster, maybe even a knock-off provided it is well designed and does not inhibit learning. It is more difficult for a child to make the transition to a guitar like this later if they begin on a poorly constructed miniature guitar or "children's" size guitar. If it is just for another toy to play with, you can get any guitar that you like based on your budget and generosity, but if the child begins to show interest or develops a flair for music, you may have to eventually buy another one.
What is the best acoustic guitar for a 210 year old child?
If I am correct in thinking that you meant a 10 year old child, It does not really matter what brand of guitar it is. What matters is the size. I recommend that you start out with a relatively cheap guitar just in case the child wants to back out later or accidentally breaks the guitar.

What gauge and type of strings should be used for a child on an electric guitar?
I would suggest Ernie Ball: Hybrid Slinkies. They are an extra light gauge so the child's fingers can easily push them down against the neck. They also have less tendency to buzz on the frets if not held down entirely. Also, if you are teaching a child how to play Electric Guitar, you may want to try a guitar that is a 1/4 scale with a thin neck. Ibanez has a GRGM21 Mikro that is great for kids.
What is an appropriate age to start guitar lessons for a child?
Around 6-8 years old is a typical age to start guitar lessons for a child. At this age, most children have developed enough hand strength and coordination to start learning the basics of playing the guitar. However, readiness can vary from child to child, so it's important to assess each child individually.

Is an acoustic guitar a good guitar for beginners?
Not really. That is, an acoustic guitar is not any more of a "beginner's" instrument than an electric guitar is. It might be cheaper, and it may be quieter (or possibly not: you can practice an electric guitar without actually plugging it in, or with headphones), both of which are reasons parents might choose to purchase a child an acoustic guitar instead of an electric one. If you learn to master an acoustic, then you will have an easier time learning to play an electric. This is simply because acoustic guitars require more precision to make each note ring true. Also: an acoustic requires more finger pressure and therefore more finger strength and calluses. An electric is easier on the finger tips, but is also more sensitive as far as technique. My best answer is to practice on both to develop the most versatility. But if sound is an issue, an electric is quieter if you don't plug it into an amp.
Is it hard for children to play guitar?
That depends on the age and the size of the guitar. If the guitar suits the hands of a child and is set up correctly, the child may learn very fast, provided the child has some musical talent.
Is it hard for children to play a Guitar?
It really depends on the child. All instruments are hard to pick up, but if they have a talent for it and are willing to persevere, no problem. You should give a child a child's guitar, as these are smaller and easier for a child to play. The frets are smaller so their fingers can press the strings, as is the whole instrument allowing them to hold it more easily.
