If you're going to want him to want to go when he has to, you have to allow him to go now. | Have to? What's wrong with saying you're too young you can go when you're 12?
If anything I would think letting him go when he's too young can make it lose it's allure for when he actually has to.

it's hard when you don't know if the kid really wants it or just wants the reward or cool-factor. | For sure the cool factor here

My 12yr old is sleeping. Hubby invited him to come at 12.30am. He wasn't interested. He is excited about the late start and extra sleep

He'll get his sleep a different night. Going to sleep late 1 night is not reason enough for a parent to not allow their son to go to selichos. (Unless the child has issues and losing afew hours of sleep is really detrimental for them.)
Chinuch is sometimes more important than going to sleep late 1 night. I'm sure you allow him to go to close family weddings, this is just as important. Especially if he's asking to go.

I think they started going at around that age, if not then a year later by 11. By age 12 they had definitely gone at least one year.
