It's impossible to know which Steam games are DRM-free since Steam games without DRM are not marked in the store. They have to all be assumed to have DRM.

Steam flags kernel-level DRM in a game's store page. Denuvo is identifiable (and named!) this way.
Recent example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3357650/PRAGMATA/
Denuvu anti tamper isn't kernel level though
Well, all Steam games have Steam DRM? The Steam store will tell you if there is additional DRM on top of Steam, at least it has in the past.
To the parents question, it is better to use GOG if you care about DRM.
Sometimes the Steam version is qualitatively better because the publisher/dev has supported the Steam version with more updates. Often the updates do turn up on GOG, but it's possible there is a delay.
DRM is an optional Steamworks feature, the developer can opt out by simply not using it.
