Children are NATURALLY hyper. It is your job as a parent to teach them how to focus and do learning teachniques that help them get involved. I WAS ALWAYS hyper as a child and still am. My childhood doctor tried to force my mom into getting me tested at 5 years of age. She refused and said I was hyper, because that's who I was. Low and behold, I'm now 21, pregnant with my first child and still hyper. BOTH OF MY PARENTS have high energy and are very hyper people. It doesn't automatically diagnose me with ADHD...also, I do sometimes have a hard time focusing, HOWEVER with self-discipline and training from my mother, I've learned how WITH NO MEDICATIONS. THANK YOU MOTHER for never forcing me to take a drug that subdues who I really am. I think that having a 3 year old placed on Ritalin for being hyper and "not-focusing" is absolutely bull...i can't believe parents are falling for this drug-laced society, where everyone is place on drugs for some new "condition"
