AMS is pretty random. It may strike a perfectly healthy person and it may have no effect on an unhealthy person. It's both physiological and psychological.
In case of kids though, it is a near certai (Read More)nity. Its nothing to panic though, as long as your kid is communicating with you in case of any uncomfort he is facing and he is having a healthy diet of carbohydrates and proteins (Diet in Mountains should comprise mostly of carbohydrates and proteins). Also, don't forcibly feed or ask your kid to consume water even when he/she is unwilling to. Only when required. Trust me, frequent water at altitudes of 12000 ft and above has bigger complications than benefits. A better option is keep a bottle filled wid garlic water. It is a good remedy to fight AMS (kids & adults), much better than adults.
Also while being on the road, try to not make your kid sleep in a horizontal position, let Him/Her sleep upright.
Any more you want to know or any information you want regarding AMS, acclimatization and Himalayas, always ready to help.

If yoi are an Ace Driver with decent driving experience in Mountainous terrains, take The Hindustan Tibet Highway from Shimla. Under no circumstances though, try to cover the distance from Shimla to (Read More)Spiti in a day(practically impossible) as you have to acclimatize your body with the changing altitude.

Shimla-Kalpa/Reckong Peo (Day 1)
Reckong Peo to Tabo (Day 2)
Tabo to Kaza (Day 3. Dhankar Lake & Monastery can be done enroute)
Kaza(2/3 days)
Kaza to Chandratal Lake/Manali
