Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your son requires behavioral therapy. I would rather suggest you to go to a near child psychologist to rule out ADHD.
In case if your child avoids direct eye contact, if he had delayed speech development, if he is not using social gestures like bye, hello, and failure of conversation these are some of the signs and symptoms of ADHD.
If your son does not have any of these symptoms simple behavior therapy would be better. Involve in physical activities, send him for outdoor sports, and do not encourage him by providing everything he craves for.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shivtej N
