9 may be young too. Depends on the kid. Birds going away are easiest and don't push him to shoot a whole box. Shoot 10 or so take a break. Then maybe a few more.
Something I do w young shooters is hang a clay on a branch and have them shoot it from 10 yds. Bring gun to shoulder head on stock cover bird and pull trigger. Kids love it when it breaks. Then onto moving birds

Definitely depends on the kid. But we routinely start them at 9 or 10.
The key is to get the kid to learn to point and shoot while following thru.
Shooters tend to want to aim and "ride the target" which is wrong.
Trust me....you want to give them some crossing targets....that makes it much easier to spot mistakes. They can break clays going away with bad habits. If you aren't careful you will let them develop bad habits while shooting easier targets.
Give them some crossing ones and you can spot the mistakes early and correct them.
