One rule of thumb you might use at this age is "Prevent the 5, flag the 15". In other words, don't flag the 5-yarders unless it gives someone an advantage, but flag any 15-yarder, especially safety related ones. You can even think along those lines up to 7th grade or some B or C 8th grade games.

If we flagged everytime the 7 year olds wiggled the ball at the snap (or every time they took nearly a full second to snap it all the way back to the QB, while everyone else on both sides is already running), you'd never play ball.
