2 years old?

Question

I have a 2 year old daughter who has way too much energy.Could she have ADD?

Answer 1

I have a 2 year old daughter and she has so much energy sometimes taking her out to play doesn't even make a dent.I find that bringing her to friends or family members who have kids her age really do the trick.I run around with her all the time but I can't always keep up with her.

I find that keeping her on a schedule helps a bit.When she eats at relatively the same time,takes a nap around the same time and gets in enough run around time to balance the time she spends reading or watching her shows makes a big difference.

Also if she's used to taking a bath at night,try giving her a shower.She just might calm down faster afterward.Let her help in caring for her personal hygiene,cleaning her body with a lufa or washcloth her self,brushing her own teeth and picking out the jammies she wants to wear might help as well.

When you give them a choice of what they can wear or what they want to watch on TV (or movie) it makes them concentrate their energy on something useful instead of driving you crazy!!

Good luck!

Answer 2

My two your old daughter is like that but I don't think she has ADD or anything wrong. she just has a lot of energy and needs to get it out. It is hard for her to stay focuced on anything and she gets very excitted about EVERYTHING! I would not worry about this yet. Is she learning things she should be? Is she starting to talk and that sort of thing. I find getting my daugher out of the house helps a lot. Trips to the mall, for a walk anything! Good luck

Answer 3

No she is just 2. my 2 year old runs in circles around the kitchen all the time. 2 year olds are just very active, the explore and test you to see how far the can go. enjoy her now while she thinks the world of you, cuz believe me that will change.

Answer 4

per my sons dr (over 40 yrs worth of experience with this group of children/adults)
a child can not be diagnosed with add acurately until they are at least 5-7 yrs old until then all children will exhibit several of the symptoms but to be acutally diagnosed there is actually a group of up to 7 different items they need to be exhibiting before the diagnosis will be made

Answer 5

LOL!
I am literally laughing out loud at this question. My two year old is soooo active I took her to the doctor worried something was wrong. They just told me she was a normal, busy, (and stubborn!) two year old. Her sister was never as off the wall hyper as she can be.

If you are worried, have your little one seen by her pediatrician, but do be prepared to be told she's just normal. (I was floored... I thought SOMETHING HAD to be wrong!)

Good Luck!!!- my two year old is going through the "no naps" stage. Bahhhh!!!! She's only sleeping 8 hours a night and no naps during the day which means I am TIRED TIRED TIRED lately! lol

Answer 6

my daughter is the same way i said the same thing does she have add. but i think not she is just young and full of energy.

Answer 7

possibly,
if you really think there is a problem is it all the time? or just at certain times?
have you considered it may be a few foods/drinks that she has that makes her behave that way?

I know of a child who just goes uncontrollably loopy if he has regular orange squash... something to do with e numbers i think.

of course it could be because she can finally get about unhindered and likes to run around like a lunatic... most kids do

Answer 8

No, it's more than likely that you have a very active little girl and you don't have what it takes to keep up with her.
