Don't push too hard.  Even though dad fixed some TVs up until I was six
or seven, I didn't gain an interest in electronics until after high
school at age 17.  As a youth I had Lego, Tinker Toys, and Erector Sets.
All were educational in various ways.

Exposure to various hands-on things will let him find what he likes.
Even simple computer programming will be beneficial.
