TL;DR
Sunny Days and Sphinx are commonly recommended for families with young children — gentle beach entry, calm bay, and good food. Book December/January stays early as popular family hotels fill up fast.
If shelter from wind is the main priority, Pyramisa is worth considering: one report describes very little wind there. The message does not establish whether it has gentle beach entry or suitable facilities for young children.
For a more sheltered hotel location, the discussion recommends the Sheraton and Mamsha areas, along with the inward-curving coastal stretches of Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi, where winds are reportedly weaker. This is location guidance rather than a guarantee of wind-free conditions.
At Sunny Days, the pool and water park were reportedly heated in December; its large lagoon is also useful when a red flag is flying on the open sea.
Even without official holidays, August is a peak month due to local vacationers on school break, so family-friendly hotels fill up fast — book early.
Some travelers who enjoyed a hotel in December rebook the same one for the next December — a sign of consistently good quality during winter season.
For a 4-year-old, Sunny Days and Sphinx in Hurghada are recommended: good food, gentle water entry, a calm wind-sheltered bay, and things to do outside the hotel grounds.
For walks near the hotel strip, the far promenade (Mamsha) in the Aldau area is recommended — nice cafes and good photo spots; another pleasant stretch is near Grand Hotel and Grand Resort.
