Rod Length vs. Your height?

What about for kids?  My boys is 5, average height I guess (which I looked up, ~42 inches).  I assume rod length matters more for kids no?

 

He was practice casting a 6' rod (I think) in the back yard and it seemed a little big.  Perhaps a 5' rod would be better but I dont want him to outgrow his rod next year!

 

What rod length would you get for a little guy?  Thanks.

    This thread was dug out of the archives of 2011.

    We have a few current threads on rods/reels for kids and 5 year olds, take a look at those.

    5' tall 5 year old is a tall kid! His strength, hand eye cordination etc determines on how fast he will develop casting skills. The fishing outfit needs to be comfortable, balanced and easy to cast.
