Okay, it's now been a few months of your child taking music lessons, and they still don't sound good (to you).
Ask their teacher if they have been progressing.
I once posted a video of a young violin student playing Allegro (Suzuki 1). Did she miss some pitches? Absolutely. Did she get every rhythm correct? I should say not. But had she improved? Yes, greatly.

What might have sounded like a squeaky rendition of this song to the first time listener didn't tell the entire story. I saw good posture. I saw feet planted firmly. I saw a beautiful and correct bow hold. Her violin was squarely on her collar. Her jaw gently rested in chin rest. Her bow moved fluidly in a straight motion (most of the time) The biggest improvement I saw? She lifted her violin without prompting from me after it had slowly drifted down.
Progression............is in the eye of the beholder who knows what progression truly is.
