Have him keep doing push ups and sit ups. That’s plenty

As long as his form is correct and you make sure he isn't ego lifting, it's fine

Came to say this. My boys lift, but no Squats or DL's just yet.

I told my kids bodyweight first. Once they show good form and habits on squats, push ups, dips etc

I think there are thousands of kids who grew up on farms who would say go for it
