How do you know what is just naughty behaviour and what is ADHD?
I think DD (6) may have ADHD but unsure what to do. See a doctor? Or is there someone else I should be contacting?
I feel like Im shouting at her all the time atm.
She was sent upstairs to put a vest on under her top (to hide builders bum) 40 mins ago. Ive laid out vest, and asked her in a variety of tones, to get ready. She just cant focus. Theres not even anything in her room to play with (whole other story - but basically she lost all her toys and books earlier because in 2 hours of tidy up time, she just added to the mess, even when I was there trying to give explicit instructions on what to do)
Or maybe Im too relaxed and if I was tougher she would know I mean what I say, and she would just do it! I gave up in the end with the room tidying cause Im exhausted. Im a single mum and really not coping very well atm, and I could actually see myself raising my hand to her
Last year, playing board games seemed to help extend her attention span, but I havent seen any further improvement recently.
Please can anyone give advice or tell me about their experiences x
