No, you can't (no easily anyways). Honestly, there isn't a reason to not go to iOS 6. Apple did a decent job balancing the feature set so that the older hardware isn't overwhelmed - As MMF pointed out, they stripped out the high end features that would have killed the older hardware. It'll look/feel/run essentially the same.
You're overthinking this.
You're going to pick up some handy features too, such as iMessage, that you wouldn't have on iOS 4.
(and here's my Saturday morning haven't had coffee snark - how old is your son? He's damaged his previous phone, which was fixed a bunch of times, now you're giving him another, and you're worried about whether he'll like the OS?)
