What electric guitar kit should I get my 8 year old son?

My 8 year old has ADHD (less hyperactive subset). Some of his teachers and therapists think he might benefit from music lessons. He has always had an ear for music and is very interested in playing guitar. and really wants to learn on an electric. He is an average size for an 8 year old. Regular guitars seem cumbersome and heavy for him.
I’d rather not shell out any big dollars at this stage of the game so I was looking at some of the less expensive kits like “Maestro by Gibson Electric Guitar Mini-V Kit”. Or should I wait and buy something bigger?

He will love it, my daughter is ADD, and she is ten I got her a guitar 2ys ago for Xmas, it was the best gift ever. They love it at first and do eventually lose focus, but its still a good idea to give him something he can be constructive and creative with.
A beginners acoustic guitar is only about $30 but I bought the Beginners First Act Electric Guitar and Amp at toys R Us for $80 and they do go on sale. It was a good buy, the amp separately can be around $50 and it comes with a really simple “how to” book. Guitar Picks are around $5-$8 at toys r us for a pack of 3 or 4, and at a music store they are normally around 25cents each, just shop around for price. He will love it!!
