My friend's son always struggles with learning and lags behind his peers in many aspects. Today, after a hospital evaluation, the doctor said he has slightly low intelligence. Could you please tell me what are the signs of low intelligence in children?

Dr. Ma Yan
Children with low intelligence usually exhibit poor learning abilities, timidity, and abnormal behaviors. Low intelligence is generally associated with delayed brain development, resulting in weaker memory and reduced ability to learn new things. They may be very shy—for example, afraid to greet or communicate with others, or hesitant to speak up confidently. Additionally, they may display some abnormal behaviors, such as deliberate destruction, causing disturbances, or stealing.
