I know it might seem like a step backwards but I'd be tempted to run D&D Basic-clone Basic Fantasy for a 10yr old - I'm sure it'd be pretty easy to put together a Dragonborn race (there's cool supplement on player monsters as PCs with templates). You could buy new rulebooks from Lulu and it would still feel like a new gaming experience, with lots of cheap gaming material online (plus any old stuff you have).
Also boost the HP at first level, adding the whole Constition attribute to the hit die or maybe start at third level. Chuck in a load of 1d6 healing potions and its pretty similar to the "healing surges" of 4th ed.
However, if you do run a 4th ed game, I'm sure we'd love to read about it here - especially the benefits of playing DnD4 over our older games and homebrew mashups. :)
