I think it would depend upon how fast she currently destroys things - ipads, phones, or anything remotely similar to a camera. The slower the rate of destruction, the more choices you have. In addition to m43, I might consider Pentax's (durability) and perhaps the Sony NEX choices. Personally I completely reject NEX, but a younger generation might have different thoughts.

My Minolta Hi-Matic 9 still works, after 43 years. Spent the Summer mowing lawns to buy it when I was 11. "Corrected for inflation", the EPL1 with lens is 1/2 the price that it was.
