There isn't a move from boy to man in the West. We're often saying to young boys "when you're older" "you're too young" the problem with that is you are the gate keeper and you are taking the power seat from the kid even if it's true. Show don't tell.
What if you could demonstrate a man through speed and strength? Challenge them to beat you in a race? Lift a certain amount of weights that an adult can do but a kid can't, thus showing they are still a kid but they will become an adult one day. Beat me in a race or beat need in weights and you are now a man that will surpass me in other ways too.
So instead of saying no, say "when you can beat me, yes."
Early on the will try to use their words and emotions to bend reality but they will stop when it doesn't work over time.
