How to understand that a child has ADHD?
Hi everyone! My son is 6 years old, and I'm starting to worry. He is very active, constantly interrupts, cannot sit still for a long time, even when he is playing. At kindergarten, teachers complain that he does not listen to instructions and distracts other children. At home, it's the same - you ask him to put away his toys, and he already runs off to play something else. Sometimes it seems to me that he is just fooling around, but sometimes - something more. Maybe it is ADHD? Share with us, who has had similar situations. How did you understand that this is not just behavior, but a problem? And what to do next?

Re: How to understand that a child has ADHD?
Hi, we had almost the same situation with our daughter. At first, we also thought that she was just very active. But over time, it became clear - she cannot concentrate even on her favorite thing, often forgets what she was asked to do, and does not control her emotions. We started reading about . They explain well that this is a developmental disorder, not "bad behavior." It helped us understand that we need to change the approach, not scold. Now we are working with a psychologist, and it has become much easier. I advise you to read and observe the child - perhaps it is time to contact a specialist

Re: How to understand that a child has ADHD?
In our class, there are several children with similar symptoms. Teachers say that it is not always ADHD, sometimes it is simply age-related. But it is still important to be attentive and not to ignore. Each child is different, and the manifestations may differ. It is good that there is a lot of information and support now. The main thing is not to panic and seek help if needed.
