Wondering if your child’s fidgeting and inattentiveness could be due to ADHD?
It seems like everywhere we turn we hear about ADHD (known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). With the growing use of electronics and the ease of getting everything from movies to video games with just the click of a button, it can sometimes be hard to tell if our children’s lack of attention stems from ADHD or just being inundated with our fast-paced world. Our Grayslake, IL pediatricians have the answers you’ve been looking for.
What are some warning signs that I should look out for?
Yes, it is normal for children to be inattentive sometimes. However, there are some telltale signs that there could be something more going on.

These are all symptoms that children can be known to exhibit at some point, so we don’t want you to be too worried. However, if your child is exhibiting these symptoms often and it’s affecting their daily life, it’s time to turn to Mundelein Pediatrics in Grayslake, IL for a proper assessment.
