I'm not the parent, but lots of people complain that the SC2 maps are too small. You can quickly get to your opponents base on small maps which making early agression powerful, resulting in a lot of short games. If you've watched the last two GSLs, you probably noticed a lot of < 10 minute games (e.g lots of 2 rax all-in/pressure builds). By contrast, SC:BW games tend to be a lot longer and more exciting where you get to see many if not all expansions on the map taken, more strategy when it comes to unit composition besides just "well you weren't ready for my early game push so I just won easily", map control becomes essential, harassment, etc.

I enjoyed playing on the SC2 newbie maps for that reason, actually; the boulders placed in front of the bases changed macro-strategy drastically. I'm awful enough as a player that it didn't help me win at all, but it was an interesting variation nonetheless!

Blizzard have rolled out a map pool with much bigger (tournament/ladder) maps, so there's definitely something for everyone.

What maps are you referring to? They've tweaked the map pool a little bit (Shakura's Plateau is not bad) but I still see the same complaints people have been making. The GSL is thinking of adding new custom maps for this reason (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Maps#Possible_New_Maps).

Fortunately there is a map editor.
