Yes, there are times when the goalkeeper can use an extra touch to attract the first presser.
I would not teach it as “invite the press” every time, though. The keeper needs to read whether drawing that player closer actually frees somebody else. If the striker comes towards the ball and a defender or midfielder becomes available behind them, the extra touch has created something useful.
If the press is already close or the keeper is uncomfortable, moving it earlier may be the better decision.
In training, give the goalkeeper live options rather than a fixed restart. Sometimes the first pass is free straight away; sometimes the useful space only appears after the striker commits.
At U12, I’d coach the idea that the goalkeeper can influence the opposition with the ball.
The risk is not taking an extra touch. The risk is taking one without knowing what you are trying to create.
