Summary
SHINING WITH ADHD #217: Early Signs of ADHD: What to Look for and Where to Start The Childhood Collective 4/15/2026 SUMMARY Early signs of ADHD can show up long before a formal diagnosis, leaving many parents wondering what’s typical and what might need more support. In this episode, we talk through common early challenges like frequent tantrums, sleep struggles, and difficulties across home and school, and how they may connect to ADHD. We also walk through what to do if your child is too young for a diagnosis or you’re unsure whether to pursue an evaluation. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can start using right away, because you don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to begin supporting your child. MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
