DS is a day-dreamer - always has been. He is now 10 and in year 6 and we have been to another parents evening where we are told that he has an amazing imagination, is doing ok in all subjects but his workload is incredibly variable. Apparently he can produce pages of work some days, but mostly a couple of scrappy sentences which are often barely legible. His teacher is concerned that he will not do as well in his SAT's as he should - hie current maths scores vary from a strong 5a down to a 3a! SHe is not worried about the SAT's for their own sake (not a pushy school), but says it is likely to affect the set he goes into when he does to secondary school next year.
He is the same at home. Either the first dressed, eaten breakfast and ready to go or stares at his breakfast for 20 minutes and when asked what he is doing says he is 'thinking'. He has great concentration when he wants to and can spend hours on the same task or reading.
Any advise? Or will he always be a day-dreamer?
