[quote=Anonymous]My sister was a bit sickly when she was a kid.  Her kids take after her.  But she is fine as a grownup.

Keep experimenting with foods with probiotics such as yogurt to find more than just supplements.  Some people swear by adjusting the microbiome. Have gluten and dairy allergies been ruled out?  Have you tried filtering your tap water if it's full of minerals?  (My aunt had tap water that you could smell when mixed into juice...but it was potable.)

Regarding catching your kid up, work on reading first.  Encourage a love of real, physical books.  Continue to read at bedtime.  On illness days...don't allow extra screens.  Have "rest time" with books in bed.  Take your kid to the public library...especially at booksale time.  Reading exposure and book ownership is pretty inexpensive and will help your child improve.

With regard to math...find fun games that drill elementary math.  Sleeping Queens is a fun game that doesn't seem like a math game.  Use Xtramath (xtramath.org) to help teach math facts.

If your kid is diligent and/or can be bribed, try IXL.com or paper workbooks to keep them practicing outside of tutoring sessions.[/quote]
