Question

My son is very stubborn; he does exactly as he’s told, and if he doesn’t get his way, he cries. He often hits or bites others, throws things in his face, and despite many times being told not to hit, he still does it occasionally. At night, he has trouble falling asleep; usually, he goes to bed at 9 PM, but he tosses and turns and can’t fall asleep until about an hour and a half later, and he doesn’t sleep very soundly. The help I’m seeking is to determine if my son might have ADHD?

Answer

The situation you described does not seem to be caused by ADHD. I suggest you continue to observe your child for a while longer. If there are no other issues, it would be beneficial to communicate and guide him more. Although the situation is improving, it’s still important to maintain vigilance. These are my suggestions for the question “Does my son have ADHD?” I hope they are helpful, and wish your child a swift recovery!
