Agree that you shouldn't get the forged irons just beginning. I wouldn't buy junk but also no need to spend a couple grand either. Go to e-bay and look for a second hand set.... (I'd suggest a name brand as they tend to be better clubs). As for the boy I would say you'd be fine with a Taret or Walmart set however you should realize that these are generally not the best for young players as they donly come with a driver then a 4/5 wedge. When you have a young player a fairwood/hybrid should be included as this is the club he will be hitting the most (along with thte putter.) My son has just truned 8 and I got him one of the aformentioned sets a year back Within a few times out I had to buy him a hybrid to bridge the gap from the drive to the green. Good luck
