My mother swears that he is ADHD because I have a cousin that was diganosed (but I totally don't think he is, but that's another story) and my son's dad was put on meds to it, but come to find out that was only because his parents were lazy. My son can focus to learn his weekly verse for church. He can sit still at the doctor's if need be. But I mean he's 5 yrs old. And a boy. Aren't 5yr old boys like that?
I don't think your son has ADHD. Sounds like a normal 5 yr old to me. If you are doubting yourself (and need proof for your Mom), you could google ADHD symptoms DSM-IV--that should put your mind to rest and reassure your Mom.
Hope it helps!
Take care~
Thanks for this!
