Minuscule (if we just take it at face value) is not the same as none. If a kid dies then there is a risk.
This isn't a useful classification; literally everything we do has some risk. 300 Americans under 18 have died from Covid (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-...), which is insignificant when compared to deaths from accidents, and not much higher than pre-Covid flu deaths (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/2019-2020/2019-20-pediatric-flu-deaths.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/2019-2020/2019-20-pediatr...).
Kids also interact with their grandparents in a lot of cultures quite frequently which is the highest risk group.
At least in the US, their grandparents should have been vaccinated months ago.
