I am not ready for the phone at 9 (didn’t ask for opinions I’m an old Mama). I have a SE 2nd gen with cellular. I thought we could connect it without her having a phone too? I also have a 7 myself.
Do I need a phone for a cellular Apple Watch for my young child?

You should be able to configure a cellular Apple Watch for a child using your own iPhone through Family Setup.
Apple provides step-by-step instructions in this document: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT211768
I went directly to VZW which I might get rid of again
and apparently I can add another line for $10 with a $35 activation on top of a $173 bill and I hadn’t activated all the watches! (for the older one with a phone and their Daddy) I’m looking at Visible again. It seems they own them now or I heard they do Total too.

At the present time, you cannot directly call an Watch even though your wireless carrier has attached a phone number to it. You will have to associate the Watch to an iPhone that your daughter uses. She can then receive phone calls with the Watch. Forgive me if I’ve misunderstood your post.
Maybe this wasn’t a good choice.

She uses a first gen SE but it has no service.Maybe this wasn’t a good choice.
It doesn't have cellular? It would need that for calls via the iPhone. I used my 2nd Gen SE to answer a call once.
