Hi,
Welcome to the HCM'
All these symptoms can happen in a child ,who can undergo psycological problem.But it can be treated first with family and siblings support and encouragement.My opinion would be , he may need counselling and needs to be ruled out for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).Since this is very common in boys and may get help from psycological therapy and some medications for example...methylphenidate and acetaminophen after discussing with doctor.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
