[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know a few people that had to rehome difficult puppies.  I would go with the honest approach and tell your child that puppy is too difficult.  i'm sure your child sees this.  If you really want a dog, you could try another breed right away, I know someone that did this and it worked out great.   
They got a 2 or 3 year old so it wasn't as wild as a puppy.

If you keep your puppy, I agree with a PP that suggested crate training. That saved my sanity when we got a puppy.  If you read up on it, you will see that it is actually very comforting to the dogs because they are den animals and not like jail.  My dog is 5 and goes into his open crate on his own almost every day after my kids leave for school.  I don't close the door, it is always open, it is just where he likes to sleep.  You can give the puppy just one room of your house until he starts to behave.  I had gates on my kitchen and later moved it to kitchen and family room.  They start to calm down a lot around two.
