Can ADHD present itself in a kid in three days during and after a major change?: by bcadhd Question by CrazyChick: Can ADHD present itself in a kid in three days during and after a major change? In the past three days, since my four-year-old changed classes in his daycare twice in two weeks, hes been getting in trouble for not minding the teacher and just generally being difficult. So they moved him back to the three-year-old room when the afternoon teacher was having trouble with him. When I called to complain about him being sent BACK to the younger class, the woman I spoke to in the office (not the teacher, she had already left) suggested maybe its his ADHD..... Hes never been diagnosed with ADHD, and hes never had discipline problems other than the occasional time-out, in any of his classes, or at home. And he minds the morning teacher. I think the problem stems from him not handling change well (never has) and being shuffled from class to class in a very short time, and every move makes it worse. Even if hes never shown signs of it before, and its been only three days, is it something that can be brought on by circumstances, or just naturally? Thanks everyone. We had a conference with the morning teacher (he behaves pretty well for), two former teachers (who were more than happy to testify that with a few exceptions, usually around major changes, he never had behavioral issues) and the office worker I spoke with. All three teachers said they think that afternoon teacher is possibly in over her head, and that even if he DID have ADHD, part of the package of working with children is to deal with that and provide them an education as well. They also pointed out that ALL of the kids are acting unusual right now, because of the change of class and routine, by being moody, regressing in potty-training, or acting out. Long story not so short, theyre going to call me if there are more issues, and that teacher is NOT to single him out and hold him back like that again. Best answer: Answer by mominohioNo ADHD will not present itself like that just because his class changed. He is just not sure anymore and feels out of control being moved around so much. Children have to have structure and will act out when their routine is messed with. Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
