Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
From your history it seems that your child might have ADHD. If such a child comes to my clinic I would assess her for ADHD and learning disability.
These are two most common causes of poor school performance.
I would suggest you see a Developmental paediatrician who can assess her and make a formal diagnosis.
She will definitely benefit with medications for ADHD and therapy
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
