Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Medically there are a few reasons like anemia, hypothyroidism etc for poor scholastic performance.
It is better to get her checked up by your doctor once to rule out micronutrients deficiency.
She may also need hemoglobin and thyroid testing .
If everything turns out as normal, then you need to discuss with the teacher and friends and find out any hindrances or diversions .
At this age it is better to be more cautious and supervise her constantly. Restrictions on TV. XXXXXXX , games would be good but only to certain extent. Talk to her to find out what is really bothering her.
A goodfamily discussion should bring out problems but may need repeated discussions.
Wishing your daughter good health.
