Parents of children with ADHD - how did you know your child had it? I've said for a long time that there is something about my DS(7) and I struggle to get people to take me seriously, and even when people do take me seriously, no one is actually willing to help. I don't know what to do. He's a lovely lad, but sometimes his behaviour is a real challenge. I have looked up signs of ADHD and, while most of them can be attributed to DS, I also wonder if it's "typical 7yo boy behaviour". I have a DD(9) who I have never been concerned about, but this makes me wonder whether I'm questioning DS because DD has always been an easy kid. He has been sent to bed this evening (8pm is bedtime) and he has thrown a wobbler because he didn't get time on the Nintendo switch, which has led to him screaming, shouting about how this is "the worst day ever", and punching his pillow. Now I'm sat here wondering where I went wrong.
