ADHD: Hi, there is quite a lot of information on the web about adhd. I'm also positive if you have concerns you should meet with your pediatrician or family doctor. An evaluation from your child's school is helpful, the teachers, counselor, and perhaps nurse. Most likely, a formal evaluation by child psychologist or psychiatrist would be recommended. Remember, you know your child better than anyone.
