Question
A child born on August 30, 2007, currently in second grade of elementary school, often shows procrastination and daydreaming when doing homework, with significant mood swings, lacks confidence, has a habit of sucking their thumb, and occasionally writes words backwards while writing. The issues were more severe in first grade, but have improved in second grade. Additionally, the habit of sucking their thumb usually occurs when they are sleeping or daydreaming, while biting on red scarves or clothing collars happens more often during school hours.
Answer
Happy New Year! Your child is fortunate to have a mother who is continuously learning and caring for them. Unstable emotions, lack of confidence, and inconsistent parenting methods may have adverse effects on a child’s growth. It is recommended that you take your child to see a doctor, with both parents attending. This will help the doctor fully understand the situation, make an accurate diagnosis, and provide targeted advice.
