This is kind of my thought.
What one typically finds is that kids good at X, are interested in X. You can't force them to be interested, but you can offer opportunities to see if they are.
Some kids just won't find math interesting, and likely will just barely pass the requirements in school. And you as a parent can't change that.
And to be honest, it's not the end of the world. I know plenty of successful people who are terrible at math.
