How about having your son present during interviews?? I did that with my youngest and it ended up being great.
I always try to involve my own kids in special ways and they get a few secret special privileges so they feel like they are part of the process.
Sometimes personalities just don't mesh and it's okay to realize some kids just aren't good fits for your program.
If you don't already, how about doing a trial period? I have at wow eek trial period just for reasons like this.
