[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 413506"] I recall Kiddo's 1st pediatrician asking about her activity levels. Kiddo was about a year, year and half old. I'm guessing pediatrician had seen a LOT of parents asking for ADHD medications for their kids because they were so busy they couldn't keep up. My response at the time was yes, she's quite active, yes she can wear me out, BUT she's a toddler, isn't that what she's supposed to do? Aren't they supposed to be highly active and have a lot of energy? I sure did when I was young. Her pediatrician seemed relieved at that response, lol. I'll note that at that age, Kiddo had NO behavioral issues. Nada. A slightly irate voice was all that was needed to keep her out of something she wasn't supposed to get into. She could bypass the cabinet-locks and electric plug protectors at 13 months, but a single "No!" in a parental voice was all it took and she wouldn't touch them again. I miss that pediatrician, and obviously behavioral issues have surfaced since then, but she's still young and I'd be worried if the kid had less energy than me. [/QUOTE]
