As the present day kids require a lot of stimulations, so for teaching them rather than adapting to old paper pencil technique.

Hence, talk to your child, and understand what holds true for him. The earlier one represents the unwillingness of the child, and the latter represents the inability to write.

There is a huge difference when we say a child is not willing to write, and when he is not able to write.

Every Human Being undergoes a cycle of development which adds on a new skill with their growing age. Kiran G Answer by Dr Ishita Mukerji, Senior Psychologist, Kaleidoscope, mental wellness center: Dear reader! Thank you for your query. Do we need to counsel him or consult a psychiatrist? Please help. We do have a daughter who is over 10 Years old and in 5th std.

He is active all the time other than for studies. We both parents work and we do concentrate on our kids. When free, he wants something to eat but he is not chubby or overweight. He talks, but specific to what he intends to. There are offline classes conducted by school but he never attends. He goes to school but due to Covid he is locked at home and mostly watches TV.

Like if you get some toys for him he would rather prefer toys. He watches a lot of television and mobile (Only specific cartoons) but I can't say he is addicted. Now as per the curriculum, he has 3 letter words and other things. He is still not able to read or write english letters or numbers. He is 5 years old and in Upper KinderGarten. Query: Hello Times, I am a bit worried about my son.
