Sorry, I don't think so. You can put JAWS in the system tray, but it will always come up when you press Insert+J. Even if you go to the Keyboard Manager and in the default configuration remove Insert+J as a valid keystroke, your kid could still press Alt+Ctrl+J or even type JAWS in the run dialog to launch JAWS. To be honest, I think this level of "fiddling" with JAWS is healthy and I do it all the time, or I wouldn't know as much as I do about JAWS. And then there are ways to "fiddle" with every other application, including the ones you want them to use. You're fighting a losing battle, I think.
