I took young Ilkley for the first time when he was about that age - he still goes over 20 years later - but I think it depends on the child.
Some things to think about -
Noise - people shouting (or even lots of people in masks) might be scary.  I've seen kids with noise cancelling headphones. Young Ilkley cried when we scored and all the fans shouted (might not be a problem on Sunday!)
Weather - a warm day is better than rain/cold
Distractions - sweets/entertainment/games on a phone etc should the entertainment on offer get too boring (though be prepared to leave early). Unless I've read it wrong there is going to be some kind of controlled exit arrangement.  Not sure how it will work and whether early leaving is OK.  I presume the loos etc will have to be open but access to them might be controlled.
Travel - I picked an away match close to our (then) home so that it wasn't too long a day and I knew the walk to the ground wasn't a long one.
Be prepared for endless questions - do we play in white shirts etc
Enjoy it - there's nothing to beat taking a youngster to his first football match, son or grandson (or daughter/granddaughter, because I took his sisters when they were a bit older too).  Best feeling in the world and the cause of many great memories that I wouldn't have otherwise have had.  Take at least one photo of you both together - you think you'll always remember it and the match and the score, but you won't.

Go for it mate, I went to my first Rams game at a similar age. The only possible risk, is that he may end up a Utd fan.?

Definitely too young. My first game was when I was 4. You're too young to consent to a lifetime supporting Derby County at that age, a burden I will take with me to my deathbed. 

I was 4 for my first game. With it being a reduced capacity friendly I don't see any problems.
A full capacity league game can be a bit intimidating for some, so it's a good chance to test.
I second this suggestion

I vaguely remember going around that age. It's too young to really understand much of what's happening, but I liked it because I got to spend time with my dad. I think it's well worth taking him just for the new experience. To be honest the way Derby are at the moment it's a blessing not being able to understand the game.

Loads of people do. I took my own son from a young age and he still goes today. He will love mate and it’s cheap enough as a test to see if he does enjoy it 

Football is more than watching a game. You can do that on TV. But it’s the match day experience for me. Many a time the game is incidental but sometimes it’s all consuming. Meet your mates or go with family it’s where memories are made and if you don’t by a ticket what have you got?
 What else are you going to do on a cold Tuesday night in February?

Rooney will be sacked way before things get critical if our form follows on from last season. 
He has no credit in the bank and has to improve almost immediately otherwise he’ll be gone. 
If we get relegated it won’t be down to  Rooney because he won’t have been manager for a large portion of the season.
It’s the takeover, the embargo and the resubmission of accounts that will have far more of a bearing of where we end up rather than anything Wayne Rooney does.

It's really easy to get annoyed with the EFL but they are charged with the governance of the Football League in line with the rules laid down and agreed upon by member clubs.
These rules however are highly restrictive if a club owner wants to speculate. In fact they make it impossible to do so as the main driver of the rules is to get rid of the sugardaddy.
If most clubs just want to play on a even playing field where success is governed by the ability of your club to generate the funds to put a good playing squad that can challenge then FFP is fine. 
I would suggest that we would be happy with that. Clearly the problem is not the EFL but the EPL and those parachute payments. 
The EPL need the jeopardy of relegation to help sell the business model and as was evidenced by the attempted breakaway super league they will guard that jealously. But parachute payments are more and more allowing the same teams to keep bouncing back which gets quite tedious to the armchair fan who will start to want more variety. This is where EPL2 will gain traction as it will allow a more even playing field with more teams able to challenge for top flight football. 
Clearly the downside here is that with the formation of EPL2 it will, almost certainly, mean the end of fully professional football in league 1 and two and of course that means the end of the EFL.

Football is a Saturday afternoon with your brother or mates.
Football is about arguing about the team, the tactics, the players, the manager and the oppostion.
Football is the banter, the sounds, the smells(!!), the andrenaline of walking to the ground - it's an emotion of highs and lows within just 90 minutes, and the next week, whatever the previous result may be, you go again.
Once you have committed to a club, it's yours for life, whatever division the team plays in.
I'm 69 years of age, and next Easter Monday 2022, will be the 60th anniversary of the first time I watched Derby County, when my dear father and uncle took me and my brother to the Baseball Ground.
I've stood on terraces, in all weathers, sat on hard seats, been treated to the hospitality suite, and even played on Pride Park in a charity game and football have given me despair at time, but also much enjoyment over the years.
I even bought a season ticket when I was working overseas and only saw 4 home games a season for 3 years, but I still supported Derby County from afar.
Whatever division The Rams find themselves in next season, I will shout at them, criticise them, moan until I'm blue in the face, but I'll support them because they are my club from my home town.

If we are over the limit using the revised accounting process and the EFL charge us then this is the point that Nick de Marco argues that the EFL signed off on the original accounts and therefore we cannot be charged retrospectively as we were told by the body now trying to charge us that everything was tickety boo. 
I really have no idea how anyone can find for the EFL in this case.
