Most people make it difficult to put a bike on the center stand. Most think it is a function of force, when it really is one of finesse and leverage.
When done properly by using the foot to exert downward pressure and a gentle lift / pivot with the right hand, while stabilizing the front from the handlebar with the left hand it goes up easy.
I was doing this on my first bike when I was your child's' age and weighed about 135lbs. btw it was a 1965 Triumph Tiger 650
