Transitioning as a child is a series of steps. It starts with social transitioning below age 10. Puberty blockers from around 10 to 15. Hormone treatments from 15 onward. Some opt to continue to top/bottom surgery, usually after the age of 17 (with a parent's consent if under 18).

And no. Puberty blockers are well understood (been using for over 50 years), and their use restricted to timeframes where it won't impact the child's development.
