Yes. You should purposely weaken it by setting the time control
to 60/5 so that the GNU takes only 5 minutes for the whole game,
but let the youngster take as long as he or she likes for each move.

Since this could also cause the youngster time trouble when he/she
enters tournaments, you might introduce a chess-clock, giving
GNU 5 minutes, and the youngster an hour or two.
