[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is almost 10 and was diagnosed with ADHD in 2nd grade.  Her symptoms when she was 4 were:  difficulty to transition - had to many times carry her screaming and crying out of mall play areas or other places she didn't want to leave after multiple warnings, never sat for circle time, would often "do her own thing" in classes like Gymboree instead of following along with the group, could play for long period of times with toys that interested her (hyper focus).[/quote]

Just to add onto my post.  I agree with a PP that 4 years old is too early to diagnose ADHD, and I didn't even think about it at that time.  But looking back, I did sometimes wonder why all the other kids would be sitting in circle time listening to the teacher read, while my dd roamed the room and played with the play kitchen.  Or why the toddlers at 2 years old would line up to do the activity at Gymboree while my dd would be climbing up to ring the bell, etc.  I even remember in a kid's yoga class the teacher commenting to me about dd and saying that she would be fine but would need lots of physical activity to keep herself calm as she grew up.[/quote]
