When is a child's hyperactivity or impulsiveness just part of growing up, and when could it be ADHD?
In this episode of For Kids' Sake, host Chelsea Kretz Howell sits down with Akemi Watkins, M.D., child psychiatrist at Cook Children's, to help parents and caregivers better understand the signs of ADHD and when to seek support.
Dr. Watkins explains how ADHD often shows up at home, in classrooms and during extracurricular activities, and shares what parents should watch for as children grow.
She also breaks down:
- The differences between 504 plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
- Early intervention resources available to families
- Practical guidance for navigating concerns about a child's attention and learning
Most importantly, Dr. Watkins reminds parents that not every quirky or daydreaming child has a diagnosis, and that asking questions is never an overreaction when a child is struggling.
Whether you're concerned about your child or supporting a student, this conversation offers expert insight and actionable next steps.
