Preschoolers and ADHD

At times preschoolers may have difficulty paying attention, following directions, and waiting or taking their turn.

As a parent, you might wonder whether your preschooler has ADHD or is just being rambunctious and acting typical for his or her age. This fact sheet will tell you more about ADHD in preschoolers and what to do if you are concerned about your child.
