Brief Answer:
It's ok but in required amount
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I Can understand your concerns.
Yes, you can give dragon fruit to the child but in appropriate amount.
Dragon fruit is rich in vitamin c, vitamin b and antioxidants.
It is although not evident how much to give but most studies say that quarter of fruit is enough for child.
If child has rash or allergy then you should avoid this fruit.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
