I was just looking for some advice. My DD who has just turned 5 is extremely hyper. All.the.time. she also climbs on things or jumps off things and hurts herself, she also likes to cut her toys to bits. (She has craft scissors that are designed for children but still manages to cut things up) I've taken the scissors away now but she has started pulling heads of dolls and pulling stuffing out her teddies. She never runs out of energy. Ever. She also wakes up a few times in the night and won't settle unless I'm there. I am a single mother and I live with ADHD and depression and anxiety. I also have another DD age 12. I feel bad for her because she is always getting harassed and she gets so annoyed with her little sister. I should say that my 5 year old is such a loving kind caring little girl, she is full of hugs and always wants to care of me and my other DD but the fact that she just never stops is exhausting. I don't know if ADHD is hereditary but I really don't want to go down that road of trying to get a diagnosis. I really just want some advice on how to cope with this and to try and make it easier for her without constant telling her to calm down, I feel bad always saying it. I do keep her busy, we play games and read books and go out for walks, but she doesn't have a good concentration span so she gets bored very easily. I'm just trying my best but would love some advice. Thank you x
