DD had just turned 3yo. I'm a bit concerned about her behaviour and not sure if it's just her age or if it might be something more like ADHD. Some of the things that are worrying me are:
At mum and toddler groups she is constantly up and down the table when it's snack time. She can't sit still in her chair. She rarely finishes a snack because she gets bored and distracted by toys.
She also will not sit in the circle at the end when everyone is singing songs and runs about the hall. I think she might think it's a game? Or maybe because she is one of the oldest she is bored? Not sure if she's just not capable to do it.
At home, again up and down from the table. I constantly have to tell her to sit properly in her chair.
Will watch TV for 10-15 mins then again up and down. Complains if I switch the TV off when she loses interest.
Constantly says she wants to do something and go somewhere. I suggest lots of things like colouring in, jigsaws etc but gets bored after 5 mins when a few months ago these things would keep her occupied for ages.
Running and jumping head first at the sofa (drives me nuts)
Constantly wants someone to play with her. Loses interest if no one is with her.
Things that make me think it's not ADHD are being able to concentrate on a task if she is enjoying ie washing her toys.
She's not at nursery yet so might not have learned these skills of sitting still etc. Maybe it's just I'm failing her.
She's a covid baby and up until now has had a lot of 1 on 1 attention.
She had a 4mo baby brother who she loves but struggles with the changes ie having to be quiet when he's sleeping.
Part of me thinks its just 3yo behaviour because she has so much sass.
Should I flag the behaviours above to the HV?
