Brief Answer:
Your child could be having some cognitive problems.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the mentioned details and understand your concerns. Let me mention that it could be that your child is not swaying away intentionally. It could be that he has some problem which is preventing him from doing things in the right manner. The first and most basic problem is in the eyesight. Be sure to get him a refraction of the eye done and see if he needs glasses. The next thing is that he could be having some sort of learning disability. Learning disabilities may constitute of a wide array of problems. It can include problems in reading (dyslexia), mathematics (dyscalculia) and writing (dysgraphia). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is another possible cause of your child's poor performance. In any case, he needs a proper developmental and cognitive evaluation. This can be done at some child development centre. Just google out for 'child development centre mumbai' and you will be able to find a suitable centre near your location.

Hope that helps.
