You're lucky, my nephew just wants to play Mario. I really wanted to go over various queen and pawn on the seventh vs. queen endings too and teach him how to win or draw them (depending on file and king placements.)
my nephew wants to learn and play chess
Boy! Aren't you the killjoy? I admit I don't know the entire story, but what is the danger you see in a little boy wanting to learn how to play chess? Anyway, Good Luck to the both of you.
Apparently, my nephew wants to learn chess, join a chess club, and join offical fide tournaments.
How do I talk him out of this??
