Dear Doctor, My son is 15 years old but his mental growth is that of 10 year old. He needs immense hand holding for studies and outdoor activites. He was able to complete all activities whichever counsellors provided him. By nature is very soft and lags in physical and mental growth. As per counsellor he is in border of normal child. Request any useful guidance to improve him

Ans: Hello,
Every child is different and 'normal' is such a big range. The needs of every child are varied, first see his strengths, does he enjoy art, playing a musical instrument, cooking, editing videos, creating models, etc. Working on something he loves will strengthen his focus and dexterity.
A few suggestions:
Repeating the activities done with counsellor at school/centre; at home will support your child.
Audio notes and mindmaps for studies help, connect with his counsellor for that.

Lastly, do some fun activity together as a family. Painting, pottery, Yoga, singing or dancing, it will help him build physical strength further.

Good Evening. I am a student of class eleventh grade. I am going to local ttns but I really want to go an edge extra for jee. I can't afford offline coachings so alternative is allen self study course of fourteen thousand/allen dlp . I am in a great dilemma which to choose please help and guide (about me- I hve always been top two of my class and got ninety seven percent in tenth boards .. )

Ans: Hello dear.
As an 11th-grade student with a strong academic record, you have the potential to crack JEE with focused preparation. Since offline coaching isn’t affordable, Allen’s Self-Study Course or DLP (Distance Learning Program) is a great option. Both are well-structured and trusted by toppers. If you are disciplined and self-motivated, go for the Self-Study Course as it offers more support, like video lectures, tests, and mentorship, which can give you that “extra edge” you’re looking for. Stay consistent and revise regularly. Your foundation is strong, and you’re on the right path.

Last practical suggestion: Focus solely on studies. Set aside all worries. Avoid spending time with demotivating friends and electronic gadgets as much as possible.

Good luck.
