I try to get mine into extras so that he is around other kids and adults. It is just DS9 and I. This is a chance for him to be around men. One of the scout dads took him off and taught him to toss the football. I just can't do it, I throw and catch like a girl b/c i am. We are also so dependent on each other, it makes him trust and interact with others that it's not all about us. we do alot of the learning history and science things but scouts has been wonderful. It pushes both of us out of our comfort zones, I hate camping and have bad knees. Off my little man goes hiking up hills and trying rope bridges while I relax.
