How should social dysfunction in children be treated?

Patient's question:

12 years old, but I feel the child is quite aloof and doesn't like playing with other kids. Even when relatives' children come to play at our house, he's indifferent to them. I'm really worried he might have social dysfunction.
What kind of assistance is needed: How should we treat and prevent the child's social dysfunction?

Doctor's answer:

Psychological Therapy: Identify the cause, thoroughly eliminate the factors causing mental shock, and adopt psychological therapies such as encouragement, worldview, and games to establish a good friendship with the patient, helping the child relax. Do not pay excessive attention to their silence, and avoid pressuring them to talk, which may lead to emotional tension, fear, and concealment. Appropriately arrange the living environment according to different situations, and encourage collective activities and exercises. Adults should also take the child out more often to encourage them to have confidence and undergo a positive and joyful transformation.
