Depending on how tall he is it might be worth looking at an 18" wheel bike - DK franklin
Even 20.25" and full size bars is often too big for kids
My lad who is 12 has just moved off an 18" top tube S&M dirt bike on to a Standard with a 19.75" top tube and this fits him ok
You see lots of kids with bikes that are too big for them and they can't learn how to jump or air on them
The smaller bike helps the above
