[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No answer, but exactly the same question for my almost 4 year old. [b]Utterly unable to focus on any tasks even those she enjoys and seeks out[/b]. Any class - even ones she requests - are a disaster. Preschool teacher just pulled me aside and said they were having trouble getting her to participate in any group activities and she has yet to even sit through a circle time, etc.[/quote] One "symptom" of ADHD is hyperfocusing. A lot of ADHD kids hyperfocus on an activity they love because it gets their dopamine going. "Almost 4" is really young to determine anything but a severe special need. I would also ask them how long the circle time is. I remember hearing that at age 4, an appropriate circle time length is 5-7 min. A lot of preschools are trying for 10-20. [/quote]
