If your daughter wants to play with chickens you could put the cockerel in a pen or tie a soft rope around one his legs so he can't reach her in the yard.(Teach her to stay away from him. I've never pet on my roosters or feed them out of my hands but I praise them regularly for looking after the flock.I wish you the best and hope he makes a wonderful rooster in a year or two !
