VA, I commend you on mentoring those two boys. I think we always underestimate how fast people can learn things and begin their entrance into whatever they pursue using watered down teaching tactics. Get them a good book on deer hunting and see if they can process the information. I recommend any book that talks about heavily hunted areas. Why? Because any technique you use succesfully in a heavily hunted area can be used in a less pressured area, but the same cannot be said if the situation was reversed.

Here are some good authors who I believe in: John Eberhart (Bowhunting Pressured Whitetails) and Greg Miller(many books). I especially like Eberhart's books. Also, maybe their dad could buy them a subscription to a hunting magazine.I started off deer hunting at 17. I had noone to show me how to hunt at all. I just read magazines and books and hunted on heavily pressured public hunting spots. I failed many times, probably more than most. I can tell you one thing, if a guy like you had offered me some mentoring on deer hunting I would have jumped at the chance. Again, I give you big praise on working with those two boys.
