Gold tegus are known to be a little aggressive if not hand tamed, and even then can be quite a lot to handle for a household with a 3 year old. Ackies are great pets but can be a little flighty and I'm not sure I'd recommend one entirely for your situation (even though both this and a gold are amazing pets overall)
I'd personally recommend a blue tongue. I've got one and they're very personable and like dogs once you get them nice and tame (or buy a northern, they're pretty tame to begin with).
