Your Active Preschooler: Could It Be ADHD?

 

Featuring George DuPaul, PhD

 

 

Is your preschool-aged child more active and less attentive than their friends? Do they have more trouble settling down when it’s time for naps or meals? How do you know what normal behavior is for kids this age, and when these traits could signal something more, like ADHD?

Researcher George DuPaul, PhD, discusses early identification of ADHD and practical steps you can take to help your young child who may have ADHD. He provides an overview of the components of an assessment for a preschooler, and describes effective behavioral and educational supports for young children and their families.
