The reason for the bug where migrants migrate to the fortress as overage children is (IIRC) because they're historical migrants who WERE children when worldgen ended, but then time passed and, because they weren't being simulated, they didn't turn into grown-ups.

I have no idea. To my knowledge, children not having jobs is hard-coded--or, rather, not being able to change jobs in-game is hard-coded. That's why DwaThr would allow kids to be assigned labors. It's likely not the mod part that matters, nor the mithril pick part. I...really don't have a clue what the cause of this could be,if not DwaThr.

Don't forget, this kid was three when she migrated to the fortress.
However, the cause may be the automatic designation of labors on migrants with a high enough skill level in the labor the skill is used for.  She DID come with skilled in mining, engraving, masonry, gem cutting, gem setting, stone crafting, and mechanics.

Mithrill <<
Its the Masterwork mod probably (the same I use).
The masterwork mod also adds some Castes.

Modded castes have the capability to make new-borns come with some skills already trained leveled and most of the time Turned On!

That child must be of some caste like "Natural Stonecrafter" or something like that.
Can you use dwarf therapist to see wich caste the child is? Just hover the mouse over the child name.

Ah, that must be it!

Which never means swinging heavy metal picks at hard rock walls. Usually.

An average pick probably weighs at least half as much as an average dwarven child. You try lifting a big, heavy (say...100 lbs, or around 46 kg, by my mental math) pick and using it to dig a tunnel in hard rock. While deep underground, and while your friends play around and the legendary miner who just got off break is glaring at you because he wants his pick back, dammit.

You do realize our picks weigh only about 10 pounds at the most?

The leg. miner is probably proud at a useful child instead of what he normally sees.

That is why she is multi-grasping the pick.
