Good for your son. To learn to ride a unicycle he would have to be self-motivated.

Another idea that works for small kids is to place 2 long tables side-by-side. That way the child can have a table on each side for support and ride between the tables. The rider is in control which is better than having a parent drag them around. You would need tables that are high enough for adults to sit at. Folding tables like you find in a church basement, school or community center work well. Be sure the tables are strong enough to support his weight and stable enough that they will not tip.
