My 10 year old daughter is constantly telling us that she feels as though she doesn't fit in. She's a very sensitive girl and the slightest piece of criticism can set off. She often does things at school to please others as she's afraid of hurting someone's feelings which is worrying for us as parents as She's getting older and heading to secondary school soon. She is very hyperactive at home and often in the presents of friends she can be loud and I feel as though I'm constantly telling her to calm down. I have to tell her on the daily to brush her teeth and tidy up after self. We're struggling with the emotions as everything we say can set her off on an emotional journey.
School have no complaints about her, she's a good student and does well in school, however she will often say she zomes out during lessons and then doesn't know what she's doing.
I'm tempted to take her to the GP to get the ball rolling for an assessment but I feel stupid.
Can anyone help, is this adhd or just a typical pre teen girl.
