I fully agree with mikee above. My own opinion is buy a single shot 12 ga hammer gun. Boys are not safe, they get really excited and forget the semi has reloaded itself.
I have a Lee loadall 12 ga loading set up here I dont need. Shells, primers, wads, powder, shot just sitting untouched for 20 years. Look up 3/4 OZ 12 gauge loads and compare to 20 ga for a recoil estimate. I started with a single shot hammer gun when I was 12 under the tutelage of two very experienced gamebird shooters.
