Noticing Kids Delays
Do any of you have a time period where ADD in children starts to become apparent? My kids seem to hit normal milestones normally in first year, tho in hindsight had other problems. Sometimes even hit things really early. But between 1 and 2 seem to really slow down, esp. with language [all girls]. My hyper one you could really see by 2/3 yo. I'd love [and need] to hear about your versions...

Motor skill delay [gross or fine] and hypersensitivity IS a part of ADHD [which covers both ADHD and ADD]. Not every ADHD/ADD kid will have them, and yes, preeemies are more prone to having them too. I do believe these things can and are inherited, but that doesn't separate them from the condition.
My two oldest, both dx'd, when infants and toddlers wouldn't let me out of their sight for more than a couple of minutes. My oldest would take an hour to do kindergarten homework. She also would cry nonstop when a newborn, I walked her til I was cramping in my legs and she woke up to the slightest movement [like shifting her in my arms].
The two girls have different types of ADHD.
Rachel M said:My son was also in OT, but that is completely unrelated to his ADD. Both of my siblings were in OT as children, but only my brother is ADD. I consider his ADD and his sensory things both things he inherited from my side of the family. Being a 31 week preemie has just complicated things a bit.
