The skills your 4 year old will learn on ukulele are easily transferable to guitar when and if the time comes. Many chord shapes are very similar, though they don't play the same chords. But mostly the child will develop some of the motor skills needed to form chords with one hand while strumming or picking with the other with an instrument that for many beginners is far less intimidating than a guitar can be.
