What Is The Cause Of Poor Memory In Teenage Child?
my son is 16 yrs studying in class 10th. He is sincere does not have wrong habit. He is wearing specs and not interested in outdoor games. But he is not having keen interest in study he always wants to keep away from study. He is most of the time forgot what he read. He is very good in song remembering but poor in recalling the lessons. could anybody suggest what step can we take for improvement in his study. At the time birth he did not cry atleast 15 sec and after 24 hrs he suffered with Jondice. Since beginning he is slow in writting and learnig but he passed regularly. He is alright in physic and other activities. Please advise us.
Since he does not have a behavior problem, you should have him evaluated for a learning disability such as dyslexia. Dyslexia - or trouble decoding - is not an IQ problem. Smart children can often manage up until middle school or high school by working harder than their peers. But then, the difficulty in subject matter and technical reading gets harder. So students who love to learn often just subconsciously move away from their studies. Once diagnosed, he will learn strategies that will allow him to be re-engaged with his material.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
