Hello ma'm, Don't worry about it. Although the permanent central incisor  tooth is erupting behind the primary or milk tooth I. e central incisor, then it might be having 2 possibilities as..... 1.There might be root piece or remnant of milk tooth & it requires in office consultation & small tooth xray called iopa for exact diagnosis. 2.There might have lack of space for the same preventing the eruption of permanent tooth at the desired position& can be confirmed by check up & small tooth xray called iopa for the same.
Next Steps
visit dentist for further check up & small tooth xray called iopa.

Hello, There could be a couple of possibilities example there is crowding in the lower jaw already hence, no space for permanent central incisor to erupt in it's actual position or if there is no crowding then also, the normal path of eruption of permanent lower incisor is slightly lingual to the milk teeth and then eventually straightens in its original position. But for better diagnosis, need to see the kid clinically.
