Yes, young kids can use KB with the proper instruction and progression. In fact it is a great way to build strength and conditioning with relatively lighter loads.
Also, there is the benefit of teaching them the human movements for more difficult exercises later on!

Are kettlebells good for joints and tendons, like calisthenics is? Are they harmful like regular weightlifting is really what I am asking. I am not allowed to lift weights because of some heart surgeries and problems I had early in life, and I'm just curious if kettlesbells might be a good tool to add to my arsenal. Keep in mind that , so far, I am only doing bodyweight and have been told by my doctor that it is ok for me to engage in those activities as long as I feel comfortable doing them.

Kettlebells when done the hardstyle way offer little impact on the joints and yes as you train with them they will strengthen your connective tissue.
Are you planning on starting? If so, I would find a RKC in your area and get them to train you properly.
