My 3 year old son has suspected ADHD and no friends, please help?

I really felt for you when I read this. As the other posters say you could do with checking the ADHD or other syndromes out.

Perhaps try and make friends with the other mums too. Sometimes there's cliques at the schoolgates, but there's usually some mums who are just stood there texting on their phones or doing little else. Maybe comment on their child, "hasn't she got a lovely smile" or ask "are you doing anything nice for Christmas".

Most decent people will find it hard to ignore someone who is trying to reach out to make friends, and a lot of people will be happy to have someone talk to them at school.

Also speak to the teachers, ask them to encourage children to play with everyone, not just their close friends. It shouldn't be you staying behind to encourage the other children, but the teachers instead. As for Christmas cards, they can actually be pretty scarce at preschool, so parents just send them to the children they know. It doesn't mean your son is unpopular, more that they can't be bothered writing out 20 or 30 cards, and may not know the names of everyone in the class.

Even if parents are raising their eyebrows at other children, their sons and daughters won't take this further at this age. If I was to tell my 5 year old not to play with someone, she might go up and tell them that her mummy says you're naughty etc, but she'd still play with them.

To sum up I think you need a joint plan of action. Sort out the over-enthusiasm, be it through medication or you showing him how to control his excitement (maybe a long walk before school lol). And also try and make friends with parents at school and ask the teachers encourage everyone to play with children other than their friends.

I would not worry too much about it, I had a hard time making friends, and honestly have very few close ones. He probably does not have ADHD. It is probably a dominate male thing. Eventually I learned it did not matter what people thought, why would you want to be with people that did not want to be with you. As for being lonely some people are lonely everywhere whether with people or not. I always found having a dog helped. Also sometimes when you care about being friends with a person to much they push you away. When you back off a little bit, they come to you.

My son has high energy, is such a happy boy, he's playful, he loves to be around people and rarely throws trantums he just turned two but he has always been that way and people have asked me if he had adhd (especially the jealous ones) why? Because their children are too calm too lazy and aren't playful and cry for the stupidest reasons... In his Dr last visit I asked him if he was adhd n he told me no he just has high energy compared to other children but it's a good thing because it will help him with future achievements, from there stopped worrying about what other people thought of him

A preschool is NOT QUALIFIED to tell you a TODDLER has ADHD. The school is crazy. You and your child are being treated like dirt at this school - why are you still going there? Your son sounds perfectly normal, but schools like to label little children with ADHD or whatever for behavior typical for a three year old. Get him out of there. Find a play group with you and other moms. He deserves a fun play time. He is still learning behavior, and the school sounds more like they prefer the easy route and recommend to drug or label a child that is not 'perfect' or 'quiet'.

I think you should take him to the doctors and decide whether he really fits the criteria for adhd first. Also I would address the school related issues with his teacher. The card part I certainly do not agree with. If you are giving out cards, everyone gets one. I would address that too.

Consulting a doctor would help you and your child. It would help you answer some of your questions. Giving him medications won't help or solve the issue. So good luck and hope everything shall pass.

Your kid doesn't have ADHAD. Stop slapping labels on kids. Just because he refuses to make friends does not mean he as ADHD.
