It took me awhile to get the technique down, but I can certainly see some advantages to Tenkara on small water. I just have too much invested in (many) rods and reels to get too excited but I say give it a try.

There are situations that are idea but I feel a traditional rod is fine or a better fit 99% of the time.

After he adjusts to the Little Jewel, then I might consider getting him the Tenkara by then they might be even cheaper, we are talking at least 5 years from now. I am anxious to hear a report from you as to the Tenkara's performance.

I'm mainly going to try it on trout streams I fish. I think for some of the small ones it will be ideal.

I like it on small streams, but also take along my regular fly rod. It's hard to fish when you're a half mile from your vehicle and you break the tip off. I've broken both the tip on the Tenkara and my regular rod, so it was nice to have a backup. You'll also find places where the regular rod works better (at least I do) and the Tenkara rod fits nicely in your back pocket. Good luck and welcome aboard the Tenkara train.
