Topic: Need some ideas on how best to teach a 6 year old
I have a six year old lad who comes to me for half hour lessons. I show him chords using the top 4 strings only (he's left handed and parents cant find a 3/4 size guitar in lefty) and we do some songs which he seems to enjoy. I just feel Id like to at least start progressing him on more interesting things but lacking ideas.

So is the issue that the guitar body is just too big for him or is there also a difference in the neck size on a 3/4?

Teach him melodies, and single note stuff. If you are being paid to teach and it were me Id have a heart to heart talk that the lessons will have less than optimal results until he can get situated with a properly sized guitar.

I would just keep plugin away, kids are very resilient, I have 6 I know. (Well I only got a guitar 6 months ago). Ask him, at 6 he probably will know what he likes. Or ask him to listen to some music and decide.
