Hi, I have no professional back-ground in this but I have read some parenting books. I personally would treat this as a discipline issue. We expect our son to say a quick hello only ,not the have to answer every question a grown-up asks as that can be too much pressure. So it was a case of rewards and punishments if he did not say this quick hello. It was a behaviour we expected in our family and so we used these techniques to reinforce it. That said, children from other cultures are given in my opinion more attention than other children and that is very hard for them to deal with.
best of luck
Mary
