DD age 6 (nearly 7) only child.
Has always been the sort of child that needs to be entertained, she doesn't sit still often. When reading stories she squirms and won't sit still.
She has never been a child to play with things, albeit on her own.
She struggles to focus at school. Often gets in trouble for not finishing work and not focusing.
She gets a bit excited in situations like going to see family etc, won't sit still at family dinners, tries to run around, wants to leave the table etc.
When travelling in the car, she is always talking.
She will sit and watch something on the TV/Ipad for an hour or so, but is very easily over stimulated.
She doesn't listen to instructions even when she had been told off.
She is losing friends which she had had since she was 3 because I think she annoys them being a bit over the top with them.
Other than these things, she sleeps well, she eats well. She gets plenty of exercise etc. She is bright.
I'm really scared that it might be ADHD. The thought makes me feel sick. (please be kind)
DH thinks it's just normal but naughty behaviour. He says that although her friends seem like angels compared to her they can be a handful at home too.
