I'll second the suggestion about having the tree professionally trimmed. I bit the bullet and did that this year on my very large (read: 30-40 feet) flowering plum, and it's made a world of difference.

I'll third it, and for another reason as well: to clear that deadwood that might fall on a young child. It also might fall on an adult, but it's less likely to be substantially injurious. Most big trees lose small branches regularly, and bigger ones sometimes, especially if the tree is not healthy. You really don't want that coming down on you or your child.
Also, depending on how much sun, azaleas can work as well.
