Toddler ADD anyone?
| Tue, 11-09-2004 - 9:34pm |
I know it's typical for a toddler to be a little rambunctious, but my daughter is over the top. NOTHING can hold her attention for longer than about 5 minutes, and even w/ that, she's doing other things too.. NOt even food will hold her attention for long. She will be 3 in January, and I'm seriously thinking she has ADD. I read about it on the internet, but her Dr. says that they don't do anything for add in such a young child. It honestly makes me sick thinking of pumping her little veins w/ chemicals, etc, but It also gives me a sense of calmness, knowing that she's more comfortable w/ herself. She gets into trouble a LOT at home, and it seems like it's stuff she can't eally control. I'm not being easy on her, and just saying "oh, she can't help it," but I do feel sorry for her if she has this ADD, and she really can't control herself. I have ADD, I'm sure of it, or anxiety (on medications right now to find out) and I'm wondering what I should do for her.

Like another poster said, she might just have a
