Many children struggle with eyesight as well. If the teacher is writing the information on the board and the student can't see, they're automatically placed at a disadvantage. In this case, it's also important to make sure they get an eye exam. Once the eye exam is complete, they'll be able to get their right prescription and see clearly.

If the home is a tumultuous war zone, it's hard for children to separate their home life from their school life. If there's a lot of abuse, violence or neglect in the home, these problems are capable of damaging a child's self-esteem and emotional health. Seeing a counselor or getting into a safer environment might be necessary.
Because the reasons run the gamut, it's important to be attentive to a child's needs. It's also wise to keep the lines of communication open. When this happens, it gives your children the opportunity to put their best foot forward
