My daughter is 4 1/2 and somtimes I think she has ADHD. She bounces of the walls, literally, from Morning till night. She will ask a question 10 times before I can even give her an answer. She is starting to lie about dumb things even if she knows she wont get into trouble. And I have never seen a child move so much.Shes visiting her Grandmother right now and everyday my mother-in-law calls to tell me how hyper she is. The Dr. says she is to young to diagnose. And that I should stop all caffeine and sugar completely and after 2 weeks if she is still very hyper to give her a very strong caffeine dose(Strong coffee?) If she calms down after she has the coffee then she most deffinately has ADHD. So far she hasnt stopped bouncing off the walls and she starts Voluntary Pre-K on 8/7. Should I try the caffeine thing? Some advice would be great.

I'd say she's a normal four year old. Some kids start to lie frequently once they learn that they can do it - they want to see what they can get away with. My brother did it until everyone started ignoring what he'd said and assuming that he'd spoken the truth instead. As in, if he said "the sky is green," we would reply "yes, the sky *is* very blue today."

Try cutting out the sugar in her diet, then (if you can't handle an alternative diet for too long) re-add it one thing at a time. It took us a year to realise that a certain brand of sweet(/candy) was making my brother extremely hyper, he was perfectly normal once we cut it out of his diet. Well, as normal as brothers can get, anyway!
