Yeah that's the whole point. Shen was trying to teach a lesson to the impulsive Akali. You can even see how Akali panics when she realizes that her mindless use of force without analyzing the situation nearly got the kid killed.

Shen gives Akali his sight too see the seeds that need to be planted to return balance, Shen thinks that Akali sees them (she even glances at them a few times) before she rushes in to attack. He was trying to teach Akali and the kid a lesson about balance, he didn't want the kid to die. When he tells Akali that "the balance must be returned" he wasn't talking about the kid dying, he was indirectly telling her to plant the seed to return balance

[@onlyhuman3]

I think it's more, there's more than one way to restore balance. When 2=2, but 1>2, you can either subtract from 2, or add to 1, to restore balance. The guardian was going to subtract, Akali added just in time. Shen was totally fine with the kid dying, as he is the eye of twilight. But akali being young and impressionable, took actions into her own hands.

[@imokay3276]

Also at 0:25 when akali pulls out her weapon he sarcastically said " with your steel?" Which means that shen was already setting up that violence is not the only way to restore balance.

I mean, he did watch his father tortured and killed to get those eyes, so he's most likely ok with that kid dying in the name of balance.

I think an important part of restoring the balance, as Shen speaks of it, is not just in planting the sapling and restoring life to the forest for the life that was taken from it. The boy's selfish act was also balanced out by Akali's selfless defense of the child. You could definitely argue that it's for the drama. That it's just how it panned out, saplings take time to grow, etc. etc. - but the sprout was not a smol boi. That was a full twig in like a second - and it only started to grow after Akali's (attempted) self-sacrifice in shielding the boy.
