Its known fact that the mind and IQ of different children are different, so not everyone can excel in all fields. Some children do well in arithmetic, some fair well in science and some in sports. But if your child is failing in all subjects and extracurricular activities, then there is something wrong with him/her. Sometimes the teachers may point out the problem with your child, like if your child has difficulty concentrating. But you need to yourself remain extra cautious when we talk about the mental health of your child. A single mistake or ignorance on your part can be detrimental for the future of your child.
