I have a 4.5 year old girl and I have been wondering if maybe she is showing signs of ADHD or if she is just a high energy child. I know it's too early to diagnose but there just seems to be something about her that I can't put my finger on (can't think of another way to describe it). Some things about her;
She struggles to sit still especially when tired but can for instance sit down sometimes and watch the best part of a film.
Isn't bothered about Colouring in the lines
Is very physically competent with running, jumping, climbing but drops things constantly and bangs into things a lot.
Talks A LOT.
Doesn't know when to stop - finds it very hard to calm down if having fun.
Gets very obsessed with things she likes until the next thing comes along.
Always wants whatever is next ie can't enjoy/concentrate on one fun thing if she knows there are other fun things to do.
Is VERY sensitive and emotional. Struggles to calm down if crying.
Always wakes up early but sleeps well through the night.
She is my first child so not sure if this is normal behaviour or something more...
