[quote=Anonymous]I have a nine year old diagnosed with ADHD - hyperactive and two younger kids who are very active too.

The oldest one, at 3, was unable to sit and eat a meal for more than 5 minutes.  We had to keep him in a high chair and have him watch TV while eating in order for him to eat a decent meal.  Now he can do this, at 9.

One of the younger ones gets extremely hyper at night when tired.  He acts like he's drunk.  He's now 5 - but this has been true for years.

The other younger one is really awful at restaurants with impulse control.  We don't eat out much.  It usually isn't something that strangers notice much or comment on, but we gets lots of parenting "help" from our extended family.

Our oldest wasn't evaluated until second grade, slightly before his 8th birthday.  I guess I do wish we'd done it sooner, but we really didn't know what was going on.  The younger two are still doing very well in school, but their teachers are aware of our oldest son's diagnosis.  I think we will act sooner with them if need be.
