Nice intro quest, me likey! Q: How are you going to give the player the option of using the fish? Q: How are we going to teleport the son after he's been saved? One solution: use two copies of the NPC and make either one invisible. Q: How are we going to let the bear be distracted by fish? (Custom AI?)

maybe a bear is not a good level 1 enemy but it could be a weak or wounded bear. Rest of the quest looks solid.

A little idea is to add another path with the fish, that you could have the fish poisoned if you talk to the after figuring out that it is a bear you're dealing with. And then after giving the bear the fish it dies.

Another option (that does work with the previous one) is to have the bear be sleeping at first. If the player is sneakily he can take the child and leave without the bear waking up. Can still choose to fight the bear and can use the fish to kill the bear.

Also might be a nice touch to have the NPC follow the player back till town unless the player runs away or something then the NPC can teleport back and the mother will be slightly angry with the player.
