My child has been having a lot of trouble in school lately. Is it just a phase or something more serious?

It is important to remember that children can experience difficulty at any age and for many different reasons. Some common causes include changes in academic performance, stress from family or social situations, physical health issues, mental health problems, and even bullying. You should talk with your child's teacher and/or other adults who are familiar with their situation to determine if there are specific factors contributing to the difficulties they're experiencing. If you think further support may be needed, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
