Hi there. I'm writing regarding my dd who is 2 in November, as I'm concerned many people have mentioned ADHD when referring to her behaviours. I had childhood ADHD& worried that if it is genetic, maybe I've passed it on :-/ here's a few examples of my dd
- excessively thirsty
- runs everywhere
- never tired- hard to get her to calm down prior to bedtime
- eats hardly a thing then screams for juice
- very clever with huge vocabulary
- very imaginative, loves books and pretend play
- destructive
- tantrums that are big but don't last long
- constantly asks for things when I say no e.g. Dummy dummy dummy dummy dummy .... And on.. Until I'm going nuts!
- doesn't want cuddles
- gets cross when you try to do things for vet- fiercely independant- gets cross when things go wrong.
- hates being forced to sit still unless she has a book (buggy car)
- in her own world
In probably describing an average toddler- what are the signs I should look out for? Don't like labelling kids- I just like to think she's adventurous :-)
