String Help

My son has a Bristol guitar made by Blueridge. It is a BM-16 000 guitar. He is 10 years old. The guitar teacher changed out the strings the first time but he charged my wife $30 to do it. I am going to order a couple of sets when I order some uke strings and change them myself. I am clueless about guitar strings. Not even sure what to ask for. He is 10 so something that would work for a 10 year old. I know with my other sons mandolin, we went with a silk something or another and it made a big difference on making it easier to play. Of course a mandolin is strung a little tighter. Please give me a couple of ideas please.

Thanks, I will order some. For that price on Amazon, I can change them 7 times for what the music teacher charged.

Yeah, the D-Addario lights are the way to go then.
