So only at 2 he knows he will need medication? 🙄 Yes there all many options before medication I'd definitely start researching some thing's to help

You don't have to put your son on medication just because your doctor says he thinks he'll need it. You can say no. I feel like almost 3 is way too young to decide that anyways.

Toddlers are supposed to be hyper active! I get so tired of adults drugging toddlers because they’re “too hyper” 🙄

Not all parents choose to use drugs but some kids are hyper active. My three year old will start at 6 am and have just as much energy at 6pm. We have him run the stairs jump on the trampoline some kids are hyper active that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone’s going to choose drugs

My oldest was “diagnosed” adhd at 3 and I never put him on any meds. Just had wonderful teachers that had the patience to work on his strengths and weaknesses. He is 12 and an honor student, also not hyper at all lol

No... he just 2... my daughter is 4 and this girl will run ring around and other child.
So to get that energy out. I wake her up early and start her moving. Keep her doing and playing through out the day. By 7pm she is knocked out

Toddlers are generally hyper. My kids paediatrician will not do a diagnosis until a kid is 5 or 6+ and in school.
Kids gotta burn energy. More play time/activities to occupy them.
Even if they are diagnosed with ADHD when older meds aren't always needed. Just see how they do as they age.

Their diet and how you have them burn their energy helps a lot

How much time has the doctor spent with your child? Did he/she make this diagnosis on one 15 min visit? You know your son better than anyone. All toddlers are hyper. They don’t need to be medicated, they need an outlet for their energy. Keep him busy.

So my three year old is hyper active more then the normal three year old. So I get it. With that being said we don’t medicate. Have them start doing more physical activities we have a trampoline I have my son go and then a few times a day I have them run the stairs anything to get the extra energy out. cut out sugar as much as possible

Most doctors won’t diagnose ADHD or suggest meds until schiol age anyways
