Tell him to log into his account, click start > run, type in "control
userpasswords2" without the quotes,

On the dialog that appears, clear out any additional accounts that are
unnecessary, reset the user priviledges for both accounts, by selecting each
accounts, click properities and selecting the approrpriate user type.

So, give your son, Limited User, plus a password.

Set Admin priviledges for your account by doing the same.
