			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people ask me: do you think my toddler has ADHD?</p>
<p>And I tell them: it doesn&#8217;t really matter.</p>
<p>Why? </p>
<p>Because the issue they are having with their toddler is that he or she is very active, and possibly also defiant. </p>
<p>So I say, at this point just take care of these issues.</p>
<p>You want to get them to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Run around less</li>
<li>Sit down and play quietly for short periods of time</li>
<li>Cause less destruction around the house</li>
<li>Fight less</li>
<li>Listen to instructions and obey them</li>
</ul>
<p>And whether they end up being diagnosed with ADHD or not, you should be dealing with these issues the same way.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>First of all &#8211; check your toddler&#8217;s diet.  Is she eating too much sugar?  Are you using ways to even out the sugar lows and highs?</p>
<p>Second &#8211; are you using positive reinforcement and behavior modification techniques to help your toddler learn proper behavior?</p>
<p>Is your toddler getting enough sleep?</p>
<p>For more information on what you need to be doing, <a href="http://adhdlab.com/resources/adhd-treatment.php"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="Free ADHD Guide"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://adhdlab.com/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">sign up here</a> and get my <a href="http://adhdlab.com/resources/adhd-treatment.php"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);" title="Free ADHD Guide"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://adhdlab.com/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" rel="external">free guide</a>, and if you have any questions, please ask below.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not easy have a very active toddler, but now is a great time to start learning how to deal with him.  So read the guide and do what it says.  You can thank me later <img src='http://adhdlab.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
