Can try checking his Hemoglobin and thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
A five year old may not be as attentive as they are just growing up . They need to be attended more . They should not feel stressed and forced to learn.
Can suggest following tips
1. Check his hemoglobin and thyroid profile . As both of them if low can cause less attention and poor scholastic performance.
2. Avoid TV and other gadgets . These will cause more in attentiveness.
3. Sit with kid and keep talking to him .
4. Take him out and show him surroundings and teach practically rather than from books or rhymes
5. Use one language as far as possible .
6. Can engage him with other kids nearby or in park
Wishing your child good health
