Hi! I have a 7 year old daughter and I’m starting to consider whether it’s possible her “airy fairy busy bee” personality is a bit more then just that.

She struggles to follow instruction, can’t follow through with completing an instruction without getting distracted or completely side tracked to the point of forgetting. She will then feel sad that she forgot.

I will ask her to brush her teeth for example, and she will go something else like getting into pjs and then when I ask what she was supposed to do, she can’t remember.

If I ask her to do two things at once (pick her school bag up and get her lunch box for example) she will normally only remember one.

Often will forget what has been said to her within seconds, is impulsive with talking - can’t wait her turn.

She is always doodling (her school books came home full of them) jiggling her foot, moving her fingers etc.

At school last year the only feedback I could get out of her teacher was that she was “chatty and in a rush”

School starts at the end of Jan here so I will be talking to her new teacher then but I’m wondering if I’m just being silly or maybe I could be into something.
