Don’t rely on one source of information about your preschoolers’ inattention or hyperactivity. Rather, consider how your child behaves at home as well as information from his or her teacher and a clinician. This advice comes from researchers who examined how well parent, teacher, and clinician ratings of preschoolers’ behavior were able to predict severity and diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at age six.
