My son aged 9 years doesnt have even 1% interest in studies. He has been stated as dumb by his teachers and thereafter this he has lost all the confidence in him. He has a sharp mind when it comes to using it in his favorite activities like gaming etc. Many people have suggested us to consult a pshycho for him. Please advise and help
