Did you put a patch on her right eye when she was born so she wouldn't be lazy with her sight?
Why would you want to handicap her out of the gate?

Wait a minute, aren't you the guy that warned against frequent use of hammer-on's and pull-off's? :P
Yes, lighter strings and a lower action might lead to quicker results. I can also say from personal experience that it fosters bad habits.
Futhermore, now that I play my electric in B standard with 12-56 strings, the time I spent on the acoustic is invaluable. Switching from 8's or 9's to these would be very hard to do simply from a finger wear/fatigue standpoint. They're chunky.
And my youngest daughter had a strabismus. She had to wear a path over her eye for 2 years. How dare you!
