This article presents risk and protection factors present in the child, family and school development of a child with low school performance. The study included an eight-year-old child, her mother and her teacher. Self-report measures, playful strategies, psychological tests and interviews were used to assess the development of the child, the family and the school. The child presented good emotional and cognitive conditions, but her psychomotor development indicated weaknesses. In the family development, parental practices of inconsistent punishment and negative monitoring were identified. In the school context, there are values consistent with a space for promoting child development, but pedagogical practices are insufficient to optimize the child's learning.

Keywords : Slow school performance; Risk and protective factors; Child development.
