adhd symptoms kids

All of the things that you have listed - I have seen in ADHD kids. What you need to do is to start to research what ADHD is and how to deal with the consequences of it. Understanding ADHD really makes a big difference in how you deal with the child. I mentioned the following books in a post below. Its worth your time to check them out. - "ADHD and Me, What I learned from lighting fires at the dinner table," by Blake Taylor.

thanks sue, my daughter did steal candy from walmart , the scary thing is we dident see her take it. my husband did take her to the police station and the cops talked to her. we took her to walmart and made her give it back and tell them she was sorry.but she steals from the family , she crys and tells me she dident mean to.i wont put her in special ed.but im going to find a peds doctor that specializes in add/adhd.

I have a 6yr old boy and a 9yr old girl and they fight all the time my son is adhd odd and may have some sycological issues he's on meds but he's getting really bad he's became violent with me and I just found out I'm pregnant it makes me alil uneasy because his favorite thing to do is kick me in my belly what do I do

I have also had many, many kids with ADHD. I have had kids who I gave two to three days to finish a 25 question test. I have had a least two who died shortly after highschool. In short, I have seen both sides. All I want people to do is to recognize that the situation does exist. That there is more than one way to handle it. That it can be horrible for a child or an adult if they have ADHD and can't cope.

While lying is not ADHD, It is common for kids with ADHD to lie. "All children lie occasionally. But because of impulsivity and low self-esteem — and their tendency to make mistakes that they think need covering up — kids with ADHD are especially prone to stretching the truth. That worries parents." And the rest of the link gives good advice on working with a child who has ADHD and is lying. And actually, its not bad advice if the child does not have ADHD.

In, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. She says on p62, that 60% of children with Tourette's have ADHD. But only 7% of kids with ADHD have Tourette's. Hope that helps. The book mentioned above is worth getting by the way.

It is usual protocol to wait until the earliest age of 6 before diagnosing for adhd because all kids before that age show so much variability in behavior. Many kids prior to 6 will be impulsive, hard to settle down, on the move, have no filter, talk in loud voices and move from thing to thing quickly without finishing something. I believe you could google adhd and find a listing of symptoms. It involves the nervous system and people will sometimes call these kids hyper.

Yes, frustration is a part of ADHD. The kids just can't understand why they can't do what other people are doing (primarily in school). The most important thing that you can do is to learn all you can about ADHD! There are some very good sites with excellent practical things you can do. This site has lots of helpful ideas - http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/911.html And another good overall site is http://www.help4adhd.

It can have symptoms very similar to ADHD but is treated very differently. A great site I have found for information on this is here - http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/sensory-processing-disorder-checklist.html So those are the quick thoughts. I would definitely look at the SIDS site because you do treat that differently from ADHD. and he could have both. What is distressing to me is that he could have ADHD and the only help the doctors gave you is to prescribe meds?

I am all in favor of understanding a child better. And research has now been done on kids with add/adhd to give more answers in how to help the child. A number of 75% is a not accurate. 75% of children in the school system are not on medication. What happened to those kids 20 years ago? Well, many of them were supremely unhappy individuals who never felt like they fit into their own skin. Many turned to other things to cope such as drugs or alcohol.

Is he on any medications for ADHD? Also, could you further describe what "putting in front of eyes tracking the movement" means?

But when inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior are the norm for a child, it may be a sign of ADHD. ADHD can lead to problems at home and at school, with family, teachers, and peers, so it’s important to identify the symptoms and get help.

Can spoiling result in a misdiagnosis of ADD? Yes! So can other forms of bad parenting.

I am a mother of three so I know how kids can behave. My 2 1/2 year old nephew is not being very nice. He hits my 2 1/2 year old. My husband and I do not allow hitting, so my son comes and tells us. My nephews parents do not disciple him not even make him say sorry. The final straw was when my baby who is 16 months had a blanket that he wanted. He ended up taking it from her and she fell and hit her head on the wall. It left a nice bump.

Schools need to provide more outlets for kids to get some movement in their day and more exercise and I think a lot of kids, not just ADHD kids would be better off. But it could be life changing for an ADHD kid to incorporate more exercise into their routine and I wish that kind of information was more readily given to parents and the public rather than things like "ADHD doesn't exist.".

org/forums/Child-Behavior/show/64 Now since you have posted to an ADHD forum, if you would like any information on what the symptoms are for ADHD (or Sensory Processing Disorder which also can make kids very active), please let me know. Best wishes.

To me it was just common sense instincts. Some kids that have “ADHD” like symptoms don’t necessarily have ADHD at all. It’s just their personality character at the time, it may even be learned behavior. So be careful, and good luck to you .

Yes, risperdal is commonly added when someone is diagnosed with adhd. What symptoms did you have prior to the adhd? What kind of testing did you have? Any issues when ON medication should be brought to the attention of the doctor who prescribed it. That's really important. And also letting them know about any other meds you take from any different care providers.

Does he have other OCD symptoms? My niece, and two of my kids have this and ADHD. It is believed to be a seratonin issue (brain chemical) and often hereditary. He should be put on one of the seratonin meds to relieve these symtoms. These are anxiety meds like Zoloft. My daughters symptoms went away quickly my son need a pretty high dose because his symptoms were more severe. The tricky part in this is the ADHD because the ADHD meds can make OCD symtoms worse! They are stimulants.

diagnosed at 9 with adhd i was already a miserable kid.started taking ritilin things really got better.but then my parents after 19 yrs divorced.very dirty custody battle,so with all this the treatment just got dropped.So back to misery not fitting in and a failure.then i found something and it made me feel great forgot my problems,good old opiates.im not going to drag this story anyway im 36 now been on suboxone 4 yrs<but something was still not right.

My son has sensory issues that cause issues with sleep as well as issues at school. He was diagnosed at 4. It's real folks and by directing our attention to it, things GREATLY improved. I do think sleep issues can cause massive behavioral issues, however, you need to determine if more is going on. That's my honest opinion as a mother. Why is he having such extreme sleep issues? What can you do about this? I would talk to your pediatrician about this.
