Default Advice for teaching my son

I jumped back into RC after a a 15 year sabbatical because my 13 year old son got interested. (That's the story I'm tellin my wife, so don't blow it for me.) My wings came back so quickly, that I really did not progress through the learning process thanks to RealFlight and a couple of old birds. Now I fly just fine, but teaching...

So now I am teaching my son on his trainer with a buddy box and he has gotten good enough that when I take it up high, he can fly out the tank with out my having to save him. So what do I teach him next? I was thinking:

1 - get lower and gain more confidence
2 - lining up on the runway 30' high or so and transitioning to down wind and turn to final (still too high to land)
3 - First take off
4 - Landing

Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
