Keep it simple and try to keep him interested by keeping him involved.  Don't worry about dinner (but if you do its a bonus) any fish he catches will have him hooked for life.

Light outfits & plenty of berley is a good start. Herring & whiting make the best targets for kids off the beach as they are pletifull & usually not too hard to find. A small piece of NW prawns on a #8 or #10 longshank hook is my bait of choice when fishing with my little ones. Just a basic running sinker rig is all that is needed. Make a big deal out of everything caught by the little one wether it's a desirable fish or not.

Presuming your taking your new tub .. sandflats south of garden 15 - 20m should get you some whiting , I'd be using squid as bait saves you rebaiting every drop .. or in the sound plenty of butter / trumpys to keep him entertained and having fun ..
