Hi. I think my child has an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He is only 6 years old. He just can`t sit still and his concentration is poor. Is there anyone who could tell me more about ADHD in toddlers?

Hi. When your kid is hyperactive and impulsive ADHD may be suspected. However, this disorder is not easy to diagnose. If your kid is overly hyperactive or inattentive it doesn`t mean he has ADHD. This disorder usually becomes apparent in children in preschool and early school years. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD last year and I have found psychotherapy to be more effective than meds. She had a brain injury 2 years ago and doctor said it may be the cause of her problem.

Your kid is six, If you ask me there is no real way to tell if your child has any type of ADD until they are at least ten. Your child is still finding things out at the age of six, and if he/she is getting a lot of sleep they will be more excited and energetic during the day. Especially if they have no worries or hardly any responsibilities.
