Thank you for your responses. Really helpful.
As a mother I know something is not quite right. The teacher at school has given some direction to my search for answers. I don't want to label my DD with ADHA but I do want to help her thrive. At the minute she isn't thriving academically or socially.
I would ideally want to have her assessed by someone with a wealth of experience across the whole area of child psychology so that we can find the right answer. I don't know whether this is best done with a psychologist or a psychiatrists?
Frazzled - did you go with Christa purely because of your friends recommendation. Did you consider the psychiatrist route?
Has anyone got any recommendations for a psychiatrist? I'd like to explore both routes and see what's best for her.
