My nearly 14 year old son is 5ft 10 and of very slim build. he would like to start weight training, what size hand weights would be best?

I suggest resistance bands you can control the tension. Start out with lite weights 10lbs. Do high reps.

There are no rules. He should start gradually and add slowly. Get a trainer. Perhaps better to start yoga classes. Nothing like using your own weight to increase upper and lower body strength.
