ONLY CHILD: The only child gets all the love and attention from everyone. Sometimes they become spoiled. He must be a happy kid. Don' t think of adhd yet until he starts school and have problems. Good luck !

Impact?: Does he get into trouble frequently for disruptive behavior, have trouble getting along with kids his age, have trouble learning basic preschool skills or self-help/adaptive skills like dressing himself, hygiene, using utensils, or tying his shoes? If yes to any of these, call your local school district for a child find evaluation for eligibility for early childhood special education.
