My daughter is just finishing reception. She's a bright, kind and fun little girl. Her teacher started mentioning that she thought DD had difficulty paying attention and sitting still at the beginning of the year and it seems to be getting worse. Her teacher says she will use any excuse to get up of the carpet at carpet time. At home she is completely unable to sit still in a chair and constantly wants to fidget or chew things. She spills her food everywhere and is constantly dirty. She falls over a lot but is a good climber and loves riding a bike and doesn't need stabilisers. She will climb the walls when we are out shopping and cannot be made to stop touching things running around etc. She has to be told everything a million times even though she is generally well behaved. A small task such as picking up a few toys is almost impossible for her without constant reminders and prompts. She is very inconsistent with reading and writing sometimes making constant mistakes and other times being relatively fluent. When she is with her friends or her little brother she gets very 'whipped up' and finds it difficult to regulate her self without a meltdown (just crying not tantrums). She isn't really into toys and will lose anything she is given after 5 seconds but she will play with a balloon, hairclip or any other random thing she finds. The only thing she will concentrate on for long periods is TV and I'm sure she could sit climb on the sofa and roll around on the floor there all day if she was allowed. Does this sound similar to other parents experience with ADHD children? If so what do I do about it? do I take her to a GP?
