ADHD in 4 year old girl
I’m really struggling with my 4 year old. Her attention, listening and overall behaviour is making me so angry. Shes hyper all the time too and constantly climbs, screams, and generally doesn’t stop when asked - she takes things too far sometimes and hurts people (unintentionally).
I’m really starting to think she may have ADHD.
I know this sort of behaviour in 4 year olds is to be expected, but when should I be worried and seek advice? I spoke to the HV but just felt like it was shrugged off and was told they wouldn’t even look at it until after she’d been in school for a year or 2. I can’t wait that long.
Does anyone have advice? Or am I overthinking?

No advice im afraid, just to let you know we're going thru the same. I also just get 'it's this age'. Mines been active since day one. Since 3 months all he wanted to do was stand and bounce about! I did a little reading and they dont look at labelling kids with stuff until theyre 5yo. But with mine only turning 5 end of August he's maturity is behind compared to the rest of the kids in class cos most turned 5 ages. Im going to bare with it until he's close to 6yo. Teacher says next year they'll be more desk bound which may show a difference.
