GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT There are many diseases that occur only as a delay in knowledge or behavior, most of them detected early are cured by treatment or a diet appropriate. Some diseases that are not apparent until school age when the child is not learning or adapting to the environment. School failure can commonly be due to a small organic defect that has gone unnoticed for quite some time, unable to continue as his fellow teacher's explanations and falling behind in class, develops a pattern of inhibition and rejection that can affect other aspects of social life. These problems require the child a greater concentration than their colleagues, so it tires easily and tend to be distracted by games and hobbies but still incommunicado. Should not be alarmed by school failure or abnormal behavior. It is important to find out what the cause of this is happening, there are many possibilities, so it can perform some basic tests to detect abnormalities or deficiencies, mineral deficiency may be sufficient, or the presence of nuisance organisms in the body.
