If your daughter had an ADHD diagnosis at a young age what were the signs?

[Hightideattheseaside]

I’m struggling a lot with my DD5 behaviour.
She hits a lot of traits for ADHD from reading around. But I’m obviously aware she’s still young and I don’t want to throw a label at her.

But I’m struggling to know what to do as I just feel like everything I say makes her worse. I feel like her relationship with myself and her dad is breaking down. If she does have something going on I want to be able to support her in the right way and get pointers on how to deal with her behaviour in the right way.

I wondered if people could tell me their experiences so I can see whether I should raise my concerns with the school or Gp. Or if I’m just being a really shit parent of an emotionally highly strung girl.

Hi just found your post and if you're still on here, wondered what the outcome was for you? In a very similar situation with dd nearly 5 who we are looking at getting assessed for adhd, as she has been showing traits at home and school.Hope you got the help you needed in the end x
