Yes. Of course I wouln't take a 3 year old along that ferrata, but I wouln't take a 3 year old to that whole area at all. I know of a ferrata (Frauenluckensteig) of difficulty B where average 10-year-old childs are too short to reach the next rung. One hiking path called Reißtalersteig is even easier (A) and you wouln't call it a ferrata, but one rung is hard to reach even for adults, so people put a pile of stones on the ground to reach that rung. Children or bad weather make every path more difficult and dangerous, not only ferratas. -- Friedrich K.
