My friend observed that he loves to talk science-based fantasies, and perhaps he'd relate better to someone who does the same speak as he does. Strangely we can't find any around us! So perhaps in a G crowd with super interests in physics, chemistry etc, he'd have an easier time finding someone to relate to.
Their might be an astronomy club somewhere - check if there is a local planetarium. How far to the nearest science museum? I would ask around at the local college or high school if there is a science-loving kid you could hire as a tutor/babysitter.
If you've only been homeschooling for a month, I wouldn't really spend too much time looking into the future - there seems to be a pretty universal transition period while the kids detox from school. But do keep your eyes open for nudge-opportunities, of course!
Love and More Love,
Grinity
