In teaching Hunter Safety, I think the 20 gauge, in an "appropriately sized" shotgun is the way to go for teaching shotgun shooting. I used to have a Winchester Model 37 "Youth Model" that came with a shotened stock and shorter, modified choke barrel. My son learned to shoot with it and then I used it for several years on the younger shooters. One of the fathers talked me out of it with a large donation of the "coin of the realm".
Wish I still had it.
A 20 gauge may kick a little more than a .410 but it isn't noticable if the shooter is hitting the targets. It is amazing how hitting the target erases the pain of recoil. The ear plugs also help, and of course a fresh, soft recoil pad.
