Avatar f tn What doctor diagonalized your 18 month old with ADHD? He sounds like a typical toddler going through the terrible twos. I have a 7 year old with ADHD, a 6 year old without a medical problem and a toddler who is 26 months old. Toddlers usually cannot sit still because they have "too much to do". Biting and hitting people are normal as well since they cannot express their feelings just yet.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately, biting is a normal phase that many toddlers go through. Most doctors would not diagnose a 2 year old with ADHD, especially since many of the "symptoms" of ADHD are typical 2 year old behaviors. There have been many changes in her life, and that can certainly contribute. Play therapy certainly couldn't hurt, but probably isn't necessary. Instead, family members should be taking time to give her 1 on 1 attention every day.
Avatar f tn Hi. Sorry you haven't been getting responses to your questions. It is quite true that your boy is little and in our state, protocol is to not diagnose for add/adhd until a child is at least 6 due to variability in children. But we mothers know when something is amiss with our kids. My first suggestion is to talk to your pediatrician. I'd think about developmental milestones and where your child was with them.
973741 tn?1342342773 Full disclosure that one of my kids was diagnosed with a developmental delay as a toddler called sensory integration disorder. He did occupational therapy for years and is now a teenager. He works on the sensory stuff and we've learned a lot over the years. But so many kids seem to be diagnosed for different things so routinely these days. My other son is not a kid who loves reading. He's now a young teenager and he has to read a good deal for his curriculum in school.
Avatar m tn my 8 year old son was diagnosed with Adhd when he was 4 since then things have changed with him or things i thought was because of his Adhd but now realise they arnt he is on a very high dose of medication which do seem to work for the Adhd symptoms but now you notice the strange things he does ie collects paper, stones shells anything like this he puts everything in bags or boxes and carrys them around, he doesn seem to understand danger will run in a road jump of things things you know will/ca
Avatar f tn So my daughter has had trouble with vomiting 3-5 nights a week since she was a toddler (she is almost 11). She has been diagnosed with Asthma and a few environmental allergies. Her allergist stated that the vomiting is due to the asthma. However, I am starting to suspect the opposite may be true. I know vomiting is not good for her esophagus. She does not experience pain before vomiting.
Avatar f tn We thought toddlers had it easy. No bills to pay, no bosses to please--just ice cream and a little mischief on the brain. But America's tiniest citizens, some still in diapers, are now the newest members of the Ritalin and Prozac nation.
Avatar m tn A while back i was told i had adhd. i was going over in my head of all the symptoms i have. i was wonerding about these posssible symptoms ,are these adhd or not? 1. when i read i seem to read but it just go through my head and usally i got to reread a few times to remeber it. adhd or not? 2.when i go out and play pool i usally just take my shot right away not aiming for a long time if i try to aim my shoots get worse i try to see the shot but cant.adhd or not?
Avatar n tn Now I have 4 children and he is my third so I thought that this was normal toddler boy activity. He is always moving he doesn't sit still or listen He has no fear of anything my house is constantly on lock down casue if he gets out the front door he runs off he has already gotten lost twice and has had numerous injuries. When attempting to watch TV he stands on his head moves from one couch to the next jumps off the couch etc.
Avatar f tn s as if there are some symptoms of add, so again, for a 3 year old toddler is there a possibility of her having add?
Avatar f tn Well me and my family have always suspected my son of having adhd even though hes only 4 for awhile I told my family they where crazy that he wasnt adhd he was just being a typical child/toddler at the time until I had a women come and ask me if he had it cause my son acts alot like hers did at his age ao I took my son in to the doctor and theydid some test and want to wait twtell his 5th bday to do further test but my doctor said it seems as if he does in fact have it.
Avatar f tn It would be hard to determine for many kids if something was add/adhd or normal young toddler behavior. As he gets older and matures, age appropriateness becomes more of an issue to discern where he is at in terms of development. Things like add/adhd or sensory will be more apparent in an evaluation. I would revisit this. Again, it could just be his sleep issue but what is causing the sleep issue? it could all be tied together.
11513017 tn?1425723993 Anyone else have an overly active baby? My little one seems to be practicing karate in my belly! I love it but I'm afraid he/she will come out running! Lol. I'm a second time mom but I don't remember my daughter being so active and even as a toddler she was amazingly calm and well behaved. Could this be a sign for anything?
Avatar m tn I have a 5 yr old daughter who to me shows signs of adhd. She has a speech and language delay. She talks very loud and excessive. She only sleeps 7 hrs at night and at least 4 times a week shes up between 2 and 4am and stays up till morning. Within the last year she has had a BM then played in it and used it like finger paint on her walls. I have been to a behavioral specialist and she said shes attention seeking. I filled a form as well as her teacher.
Avatar f tn My son is a very active child ,veeery active, yet once he has found something that interrests him greatly he will stay in one place and focus on that perticular thing. My sons father has ADHD and there are several other disorders in the family on his side. I always accepted the fract that there would be a great possibility that my son would have ADHD as well,. I waited until he went to kindergarden and showed struggling academically, and in his behaviour, communicating with the teacher helped.
Avatar f tn My toddler has not been the same after his fever (103/104) broke. He had a rash from roseola and then was not the same boy. He started having tantrums out of nowhere, hitting, pinching, screaming out of nowhere. Nothing like how he is normally. Doctor said it was normal and his brain needs to adjust back to normal. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and how long it took to get resolved?? Scared Mommy!!
Avatar n tn Your son may well display ADHD, but it is important to arrange a thorough evaluation and not rush too quickly to the diagnosis. The on-line surveys can be useful tools to see if a person might display symptoms typical of ADHD, but a thorough assessment will consider a child's medical history, family history, current functioning at home and in school, possible alternative explanations for the symptoms identified on the surveys, etc.
Avatar m tn my 2 yr old daughter is a smart energetic toddler, she speaks and comprehends just fine often she will scold you for something after she has been, but she doesnt ever change her behavior, she spits, bites, destroys things in the house from ripping curtains, to shredding paper, to smearing poop all over her room, to eating poop, she hits her 3 yr old sitter in the head with toys everyday, ive caught her sitting on top of her sister while shes sleeping hitting her...
Avatar f tn about everything but he just blows it off as terrible twos but I have 2 other kids who were never this bad or persistent on getting in trouble. my husband has ADHD and is bipolar but is being treated for the bipolar disorder but could my son be showing early signs of both and what should I do seeing my DR doesn't think its anything more then terrible two.
Avatar f tn Patience is patience, and acceptance is acceptance. What if your child (God forbid) has ADD or ADHD or even autism? Will he still be accepting? You should talk to him a little more about this and bring up these sort of scenarios. Not saying that this will happen but no child is perfect and if you have a child that needs a little extra attention or patience will it already be in him to give the child that?
Avatar f tn I need help. My son is only 3. He will be 4 in July. A month after his third birthday he was actually diagnosed with ADHD. I understand this diagnosis its rarely given before 5 due to"toddler symptoms" being similar. So I hope that gives you some idea of how severe this is. The neurologist that diagnosed him said it was the worst case he had seen in his 20 years.
327385 tn?1378360731 Sounds like your talking about my daughter, and she has ADHD. They started her off on Adderal XR, but she is now on Vyvance (sp). She did and does all the things you have listed, including the stealing and not knowing why. Your best bet is to try and find a peds doctor that specializes in ADD/ADHD. If she is found to have ADHD, so of the things she does might not go away, like the stealing.
1276121 tn?1420860600 My boys are very demanding though as my oldest has ADHD and youngest had ADHD combined type and emotional defiant disorder. Both are on meds, see psychiatrist monthly and therapy biweekly. Then my daughter will only be 20 months when baby is born. Like I know I'll find a way but I'm scared I won't!
1260255 tn?1288654564 I would say it's doubtful that bone loss is causing neurological symptoms. Bone loss can cause spine problems, leading to nerve pressure, but I don't see that in the picture you've posted.
Avatar f tn I hate to tell you this, but it sure sounds like pregnancy to me.
