Q: my little girl is 5yrs old and she is very actived
Hello there!
Well you have come to the right place for information and support on ADHD. Take heart because there is a lot that you can do to help her.
I just wrote a post you might want to read about "What it is like to Parent a Hyperactive Child."
And our Eileen Bailey has written a very informative article all about hyperactivity where you can get some tips and suggestions.
I do hope this helps! Let us know if you need further information okay?
That is a tough place to be as a mother. It's hard for children with ADHD to make friends and maintain friendships b/c they usually can not concentrate(sp) on one thing long enough to play with the other children. My daughter is now in first grade and she has ADD but also has narcolpsy. I started a girl scout troop for her and the girls in her grade so she could do some fun activities with her friends but I am presents to help her stay focuses and have a good time. I know this isn't an option for everyone but structured play dates can also help. I've also noticed that kids this age tend to still do their own things more often than not. I been lucky enough to see through the troop meetings that she isn't all that much different than the rest of the girls and only a couple of them have that true buddy the rest still float around.
