How do you deal with a hyperactive toddler? Is there any way to know if they are at risk for developing ADHD?

Hi Bianca, based on my personal experience. It is hard for us parents to know the difference of normal hyperactivity vs ADHD. I used to think my children has ADHD. But then again, it is so hard to conclude. So I asked the help of our pediatrician. He told me that I should avoid sweets. Normally parents tend to assocciate the hyperactivity to ADHD but it was just the sweets that is the culprit! But if you need assurance better yet to consult a pediatrician then your pediatrician will might suggest a psychologist to assess your child. Also may I add that we parents should refrain from holding our children back from what interests them. Sometimes we suppressed them not knowing it. Hope this could help! :)
