Question
Ever since he was born, I’ve felt that he’s more active than his peers, and now it’s even more apparent. Every day is spent in scolding. His appetite is good lately, but he hasn’t grown much; could it be ADHD?
Answer
According to your description, it doesn’t seem to fit the criteria for ADHD, as children with ADHD often struggle to focus, no matter how hard you try, they can’t control their calmness, and their learning abilities are also poor. These all suggest that your child might be more mischievous. It’s recommended not to resort to physical punishment and to provide proper guidance. If you are really concerned, you can consider a neurological examination. See how the doctor analyzes the situation for you.
