My son now is in P2, he's cannot concentrate on his homework and look very tired and forgetful, I just want to find out from you guys that anyone of you got any good idea for me.
I have think to give him some supplement food but don't know what is good for him because outside the market have a lot of choice and all the products looks good. Any recommendation?

I would make sure he's getting enough sleep. Ask your pediatrician how much sleep a child his age should be getting. You might be surprised.
Make sure he's drinking at least 6-8 glasses of WATER a day. Soda & juice do not count.
Make sure he's eating healthy.
Talk to your pediatrician about maybe some ginko or ginsing. I'm not sure if they're safe for your age child but they do help with memory.
Play lots of games, do puzzles and make up riddles. Play games while you drive, shop, and relax. Do jigsaw puzzles, number puzzles, word puzzles, logic puzzle, whatever.
Limit "screen" time (TV, computer, video games) to an equal time that he's read. So he reads for 1 hour, plays or watches TV for 1 hour.
Love him.

Sleep, exercise, diet and find ways to arouse him. Different children have different learning styles - audio, visual or kinetic. Find out if it's due to psychologically or physically, or maybe both. Don't over stress him with loads of work.
As for supplements to boost memory - recommend fish oils. I suggest giving him supplements that release his energy levels but it's better to take from foods he eats daily. Supplement only those that are scarce in foods. All the best.
