I have a 5 year old that I share VR stuff with every now and then. Depending on your kid's head size, you might have to limit to only experiences or gaze-based stuff, since he might have to hold the front of the Gear VR with his hands.
That said, what I do is get the experience started, pause it, then pass it over to him, holding my thumb over the proximity sensor so it doesn't go into sleep mode, help him get it on and then talk him through how to unpause it.
I do limit it to only a few sessions a month, really, and short sessions at that. I don't think it's going to do any damage, but I don't want to take too many chances, so I generally limit to 15 minutes at most per session.
I don't think there's a good way (yet) to really see what he's seeing, so you'll have to rely on how well he can follow your directions and describe to you what's going on.
