I'm far from a father but you really seem to take this too seriously. Introduce him, yes, if he has fun he will want to continue by himself and probably nag you. But don't try to distract him with whatever your ego seems fit for an extension of "yourself" and "your son". He might as well become a heart surgeon if you let him have his space to be and explore.

It's a mistake on your part to assume my parenting style based on 4 paragraphs.

I'm not assuming anything, really. See if you see yourself in what I wrote. If you don't, disregard.

It seems like you are, explicitly. There's nothing over-serious in the request--it's a question asking what the best approach would be, which is totally fair.
