Hi
Firstly, it has to be decided whether the child's difficulty is caused through medicinal, physiological, environmental or nutrition. It has been found that children taking some school buses are absorbing lead which leads to issues in the child's life. It has also been found that if the school work is too advanced or not advanced enough the child becomes bored and will not respond to requirements. Environmental means does he live in a happy, positive home. Nutrition is not suggesting you don't feed your child properly, rather is his system absorbing the nutrition that he is getting? For instance, at the age of 6 I suffered from anemia, which is against the law in Canada. This caused all kinds of issues for my parents until it was determined that my system does not absorb the Iron (Fe) from my diet. I am still on a supplement for this.
You could get the assistance of the medical field to firstly eliminate any medical issues and then deal with each category and work to eliminate them. In the mean time, find ways to compliment your child about how clever he is, or how well he did something, or how happy he is looking and would he share that with you. There are many ways to build a person's confidence so that they are willing and then able to try and reach another plateau. Little people need a lot of assurance of their personal worth and place in the family circle.
Lastly, please remember that Albert Einstein was terrible in school and look where he ended up.
Hope this helps.
