Hyperactive, can't sit still.?
Answer:
Two year olds NEED to be bouncing around. Sitting down is not normal for humans at age 2,nor is it healthy. Look at all the overweight people in this country-sitting down is the LAST thing we want.
Maybe she doesn't like you're reading. Maybe the book is boring. Run around with her, it will be fun for her, and good for both of you. ADD is almost exclusively a "school disease"(i.e. it means your kid doesn't do well sitting down facing an adult who loves to hear their own voice and have people look up to them all day long).
Seriously, she is fine. This is a great article that did me a world of good in my view of my son. It's titled, "The Child Who Never Sits Still":

The good news is that your child is normal. The bad news is that you are going to have to come up with a lot more energy in order to keep up with her! You can do it mom! Good luck.
I honesstly don't think she is ADD since my child was like that at 2, with Leap Pad and all.
You need to find something that interests him, and use it as a reward when he does listen to your directives. Does he like ice cream? Well then tell him that once he starts potty-training then you will give him a scoop of ice cream as a reward. Then start doing this for other things you want him to do and try different rewards.
Good Luck and have lots of patience.
no she probably does not have ADD that's some thing you find out when there older she is just being a two years old nothing to worry about
Sounds completely normal to me. I don't think she has ADD. They get so many bursts of energy when they are 2! It's amazing, at 2 they really start to get their personality!
She's completely normal for her age, kids at this age can't concentrate on one object for too long. I have a one and a half year old son and he's the same way, always on the go! She should grow out of it in a few years, but until then, good luck.
Actually my son was the same when he was two and he was diagnose with ADHD. I really believe that you can tell when a kid has ADD or ADHD and it’s just a matter of time until your family doctor refers you to a specialist. My son is 4 years old now and he is extremely hyperactive which makes him get in trouble at school all the time. The doctor wants to put him on medication but I decided to wait until he gets older. I would suggest 1) to be patient, 2) to talk to your family doctor about it, 3) read books, research about ADD and ADHD it will help understand what your child is going thru and what kind of things (activities) you two can do together.
You have one good thing on your side…they say girls aren’t as bad as boys and believe me my son is a hand full.
Two year olds really cannot be expected to have an attention span longer than about 10 minutes or so. This is normal. Toddlerhood is characterized by curiousity and boundless energy. Don't worry that it is ADD just yet, as this is too young.
A five minute attention is good enough at this point.
As far as potty training - this is not an issue that should be forced. Take things as they come, it'll give you less frustration. If she isn't ready, then she isn't ready.
Good luck!
no nothing is wrong i have worried about my 2 year old that turned that in september also she doeant let youread she does not sit still and she is so hyper and cant get her to go to bed and she runs and runs and yells and dont sit down to eat and dont use the potty and i mean i was so wotrried about that but they said that a two year old cant tell because it really is the terreiable twos you just have to aome way find a way to calm them down and also they told me that they are really too smart for there age she will calm down they said i spoke with many places and all what ever you do dont let some one tell you she needs medicine because that is not safe and your kid will be a zombie and i much rather have them hyper but i pro mise that my daughter is the exact same way maybe worse she is probally reall smart too and at too they d everything bad they can so they can see what they can get away witha then at 3 they start alittle calming being hyper is a good thing you probally have a happy child and all
and that is not bad at all i promise. so enjoy it instead of having a kid thet dont want to do nothing and all it s fun just do more things
with her one on one alot of times they jsut want someone to play with and the leap pad i got that for my daughter that and she still sit still she dont use it more then 5 minutes.'
