Brief Answer:
Need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for your query.
The problems with your son are not serious, though abnormal can be seen in many kids of his age. This is a kind of cerebellar delay in development. He will recover from this very soon with mild effort from you and his teachers. Use rewarding technique in his learning.
Since his memory and logical reasoning is fine I do not suspect any dyspraxia or dyslexia.
Need not worry.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Need not worry
