First off, it's impressive that a girl at that age wants to get started with blogging. Blogging is a wonderful art that I learned rather late in my life and I wish her the best on her plans.
Choosing a WordPress.com Premium plan for her should be the excellent choice. With access to over thousands of free and premium WordPress.com themes, she will have all the exposure to pick the best look.
As for blogging about all the things happening in her life, I have been there too. I have been confused on whether blogging in a certain niche and keep my thoughts focused to a particular topic to rank higher, or start one blog and write all my thoughts together.
I have come far in my blogging career and realized that either of the can work. The goal is to maintain the optimum keywords and optimize one's content for SEO. Thankfully WordPress.com has put up a detailed guide on ranking better on search results and she can learn the best SEO tips on this WordPress.com guide. https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/
It's also encouraged that she takes a look at what metadata is and how it makes up blogs' ranking on search results here on this page. https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/ This marks the fundamental approach to doing better and ranking higher on search results.
Given the motive of a 12 years old, I believe she is looking for a WordPress.com site wherein she can jot down her thoughts, and I believe that monetary growth and ranking on search results is not her primary goal. I encourage you to let her write on her own terms. :)
She can use WordPress.com categories to classify her content though https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/ and use tags to tag https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/ her content. Tags will help her content to be discovered on WordPress.com Discover https://discover.wordpress.com/ It will help bring audience to her content and will encourage her to blog better.
I also suggest taking a look at this page https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/ to learn the differences between categories and tags.
Hope this helps. Wishing her the best!
If she is blogging in the public, I encourage you to share her WordPress.com site's link here in this thread. Myself and other community members would love to read what she has to share with the world.
