Each child is different, but I think a great way to introduce children to fly fishing is through tenkara. I'm no expert in fly fishing, but I do know a little about children (having six). The biggest challenge with fly fishing for kids (and probably for adults) is maintaining a connection to the fly through proper line tension. Kids have a tendency to drop the rod tip when fishing tenkara and that creates too much slack in the line and almost no possibility of a good hook set.
Just a couple thoughts; I'd definitely defer to Rob for more info and experience.
