So i guess the day dream part is cos school is not stimulating enough.

I am glad your son is doing well academically. Mine is doing average at P6 averaging 70+ coz I think we (parents) were too lax with him when he was younger. Daydreaming can be avoided if he's given the right challenges. to divert his energy to. I wish my problem is as simple as yours. lol

Erm, how did my nick become heytustneubtag? hahahaha. Anyway, it's heutistmeintag and german phrase. I am not German but Chinese in case someone wants to know.

Anyway, you could contact Dr Mollie @ 67329038. I am not sure if there's a rule against advertisement in this forum, I couldnt pm you and so would just give the contact without company name.

Hi ck123. no worries.

I really cannot remember how much. I think it's a few hundreds (maybe $300) then and it's better for you to call and check with her.
