I didn't start using a mouse until I was around 20 (yep, I'm old). I'm a lefty and suggest leaving mouse buttons alone, but physically moving the mouse to the left side of the keyboard.
Keeping the buttons in their default settings will allow him to use other computers easily. One aid to learning would be to use a simple, flattish mouse, not an ergonomic one.
And now that I'm on my PC, and not my phone...I rest both my ring and middle fingers on the left mouse button. Middle finger is also used for the scroll wheel while the forefinger is used for the right mouse button.
When he's older he can decide if he wants to relearn, or more likely, dual-learn the swapped buttons method.

Personally I would prefer that my lefty son would use PC mouse with his right hand. Is it worth a try or let him use his main left hand and prepare for infinitely changing of mouse button assignments?
