Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion you should start social skill training for your child. Give him hypothetical situations and do role play to model the proper way of behaviour. Then give him chance to practice the same behaviour in the role play.
You can get such type of training from a child psychologist also.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
