Question
When children are tutoring, they often say they are tired, their balance is not good, and they prefer to lie down at home. Is this a sign of poor constitution, or is it just short of breath when reading?
Answer
Poor balance could be indicative of sensory integration and endocrine disorders that may have roots in childhood developmental issues. If the shortness of breath only occurs when reading and not during regular physical activities, psychological factors are likely at play. Feeling tired and preferring not to engage in physical activities does suggest a possible poor constitution. However, it would be wise to start with dietary adjustments and physical fitness training. A thorough medical check-up at the hospital might also be beneficial.
