Go with the stands that put the sound where you want it -- the 16" thing is just a ballpark based on average people heights, furniture heights etc...

Pick stands that will let you drop bags of sand or steel shot in the bottom of the support tube(s) to keep the stands stable. You can get some sticky stuff (blu-tac ?) that will help hold the speakers onto the stands. Finally, if you can't run the speaker wires up inside the stand then use a couple of tastefully applied cable ties to secure the cable to the stand so you don't have to worry about a tug on the cable bringing a speaker down on your daughter.
