ADHD or Active Child? Signs of ADHD

October 4, 2019 by Nolie

Growing up I remember people thinking ADHD wasn’t real. Oh, he is just hyper. He is a bad kid. These are things people would say. In reality, that child may have had ADHD. My husband was one of those “hyper” kids. Ends up he has ADHD. So what are the signs of ADHD?

Symptoms and Signs of ADHD

ADHD Signs

  • Less mature than other kids their age. Our doctor tells us to take 3 years off his age and that is the age we should put our expectations of him at. (This tip has been a huge help to us in raising him)
  • Doesn’t seem to listen when spoken to directly.
  • Doesn’t follow through on instructions and fails to finish responsibilities.
  • Has problems organizing tasks and activities
  • Avoids tasks that require mental effort over a long period of time.
  • Has trouble holding attention on tasks or activities.
  • Forgetful and loses things.
  • Talks excessively and at inappropriate times.
  • Interrupts or intrudes on others.
  • Difficulty switching focus.
  • Easily distracted, or as I like to call it “squirrels”.
  • Difficulties with self-regulation.
  • Makes impulsive decisions without considering the consequences.

These are just a handful of the signs of ADHD. There are also different types of ADHD which I will discuss in my next blog post.

Spread the love!

During the pandemic we had to move to another city for my husband's work. The kids took it hard but the teen took it the hardest. He misses his friends so much.

One day I told him. If you can find somewhere to stay I will pay for a train ticket for you to go visit your friends. 

Yesterday it became a reality as I watched my "baby" board the train for his first solo trip as I kept my promise to let him go see his friends.

I won't lie. I was scared and nervous but the mom he is staying with has been sending me text updates and pictures.

He is having an amazing time and this mommy has gone from nervous to happy for her son.
