Adhd Preschooler

How do I tell if my 4-year-old has ADHD?
Does anyone have a child with ADHD? I’m interested to know- what was he/she like as a preschooler?
I’m not trying to label my daughter; I certainly don’t want medication for her at this point! I just wanted some ideas on what to look for and maybe how to help her. She is very high-energy and impulsive, even for a 4-year-old, and is always either acting super goofy just to get attention or becoming very frustrated and throwing tantrums that seem to last forever. I have no doubt she’s smart- she does 200-piece puzzles and can “read” people (and manipulate them) extremely well. But if it’s an activity she didn’t choose, she cannot focus on it for more than a minute or two. My 2-year-old and 6-year-old focus WAY better than she does. I don’t know, maybe it’s just “Middle Child Syndrome”! We will try to get her outside more; I do think that helps, it’s just so hard this time of year! Thanks!
for my son at a young age, in preschool he wouldn’t sit still, always getting into to things, very short attention span, and couldn’t finish what he was working on he would start and then just leave it start something new, not thinking about things until after the fact, but as he got older and i had to start him with some meds, he has grown up to be a totally different kid, he now gets A’s & B’s in school and will be finish with school a 1/2 yr earlier then his class, it took alot of work and alot of patience and it does with any kids i think lol…
