Shooting in low light can be difficult. I am not familiar with your camera, but some things you can potentially do are:
Increase the ISO on your camera - higher numbers of ISO make the camera more sensitive to light. But a higher ISO can introduce noise in your photos so they might not look as crisp.
Use a flash - is the flash on your camera turned on? This can help.
Use a slower shutter speed - I don't know how much control you can get on your camera. Having a slower shutter speed (going into seconds instead of fractions of seconds) lets more light in. You would need a tripod or some sort of stable surface, though, as movement will make the picture blurry. This could be difficult since your son is going for the camera.
Aperture - using aperture numbers with low numbers (such as f2) open the lens to allow more light in. If you can set it, set it for a low number.
