There was a boy of almost 10 years of age. He was very intelligent but couldn’t learn well so he was always punished by teachers due to getting low grades. His parents also scolded him for this. Nobody could understand his inner abilities although he was very creative minded. The result of this that with the passage of time he remained frustrated and confused and when for third time he failed in 4th grade, He ran away from school and till now nobody knows where is he? So, please understand your child and spend sometime with him in order to know that what he wants and what he wants to be?
