Lookin at your child’s height and weight, it’s understandable to feel concerned about his overall growth and concentration. Since Ayurveda views health holistically, we will consider physical, mental, and emotional well-being aspects. It’s essential to ensure your child’s vata dosha is balanced, as this might lead to being underweight and difficulty in focusing.

First, diet plays a significant role. Try incorporating more nourishing and grounding foods. Ghee should be included in his meals, as it helps in digestion and absorption. Opt for whole grains like rice and wheat, which provide sustainable energy and are vata-pacifying. Offer warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or almonds at night, which can aid in calming the mind and improving focus. Include fruits like bananas and mangoes, which are strengthening.

Secondly, ensure regular meals, as skipping can aggravate vata. Encourage eating at the same time each day to regulate Agni, or digestive fire. Good protein sources include lentils, paneer, and eggs. It’s important to have variety but also consistency in the diet.

Physical activity is essential, but it should be calming rather than over-stimulating. Activities such as yoga or swimming promote both focus and physical strength. Consider introducing a daily routine that includes gentle yoga asanas like Tadasana and Vajrasana - these help improve concentration and agility.

Encourage regular sleep patterns. Ensure he gets 9-11 hours of sleep to help manage energy levels and cognitive function. Limit screen time before bed, which can disrupt sleep and focus.

If he finds it hard to concentrate, Brahmi is an excellent herb for enhancing memory and sharpness. A Brahmi syrup or oil, used regularly, can be quite beneficial. However, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the right dosage and form.

Lastly, it is vital to keep stress levels at bay. A supportive, stress-free environment promotes mental clarity. Regular practice of breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can help in maintaining calm and focus.

Make sure to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical issues contributing to his weight or focus concerns.
