A couple of thoughts

if they both end up wanting to hunt on down the road, unless you plan on them sharing one gun you will ultimately have to buy two guns anyway.

I am left handed, my parents and teachers tried for 10 years to "teach" me to be right handed. I thought it was DA then and I still do 40 years later. Kinda like teaching someone to be tall.

As mentioned, eye dominance is most important.

A pump/lever/SA rifle is probably not the best way to start a young hunter. Just my opinion.

Even a right handed bolt rifle loaded with one round at a time is not a big handicap and basically gives you a single shot rifle no different from a safety stand point than a break action.
Any decent break action will cost you.
