Is this anxiety or adhd or ‘normal’???

[BelleBoyd]

My 8yr old has always been very over active. She starting skin picking at 2/3yrs and after 4 years of this has now stopped thankfully but is constantly moving. She constantly does cartwheels or stands on her head. At home she will on the sofa or in the garden and when we’re out she does this along the street and wherever we are. I’ve tried stopping her but she does this constantly and almost without realising she’s doing it. She finds it impossible to concentrate on much for long, can’t sit through a tv program, cannot organise any of her things or clothes etc.
School have never mentioned any issues and I’m just wondering as I always do during the holidays whether I should be addressing this behaviour more? Or is this just ‘normal’ behaviour? Seems very different from her peers and her brother.

Possibly adhd , this is what my kids are like. I have ADHD as well as my two kids (7 and 12) . How are her school reports ? How is she when doing homework

She does ok at school. She will do her homework mostly on her own but is quite rushed-won’t spend very long on any one thing.

Do you prompt her to do her homework or does she just do it ? . At school is he chatty and / or shouts out ? Mine used to skip around instead doc cartwheels ect. How is she when sleeping ? Restless? Can’t settle down ?

She is constantly moving/chatty/singing/making sounds. She NEVER sits still for anything. She is restless all the time. She does sleep through for about 9/10 hours, never naps, never sleeps in, never feels tired or sleepy. I think at school she manages to discipline herself but at break times she just does handstands and cartwheels all the time. She does her homework if I lay it out for her. She doesn’t get it out of her bag on her own, doesn’t get dressed unless I give her the clothes and then ask her several times.

Could posisbky be adhd , normally the behave the same everywhere but in your could be ho,ding it all in . I’d eitehr speak with school and see what she is really like or speak to your gp who may refer you to cahms . If you want a quicker solution then get. A private doctor

If you are concerned act on it.
