Cool dad, Smart dad.

IMHO, a bolt action with iron sights would be a better choice for his first 22. He'll learn trigger control and slow and steady on the bolt action, as opposed to spray and pray on the semi auto, then move him up to a semi auto at 13 to 16. He'll continue to cherish that BA and will keep it to hand off to his kids!

If he is mature, get him into a Hunters Safety Class... he'll learn a ton of safety and probably outscore some adults in the class.

The Eddie Eagle materials from NRA are great learning tools. NRA has a great youth oriented magazine too. A NRA life membership at his age would be great!
