Pretty sure my 5yo has ADHD and I don't know how to get her to follow the rules


My daughter is 5.5yo she is loving, kind, smart, has a HUGE imagination...just so sweet...BUT she literally just does whatever she wants. Her pre-k teacher suggested she has ADHD, hell when we were getting her older brother counseling, she was in the room and the psychiatrist literally said "that one DEFINATELY has ADHD" unfortunately whenever I set up psychistric evaluations for her it was during Covid and not the same psychiatrist and they didnt even talk to her...just us parents and suggested a behavior chart...which we didnt do bc I KNOW it wouldn't work.Her behavior is sometimes dangerous...like doing a bcakflip off a swing at school for example...but she never gets hurt! And I know this sounds bad...but I kinda wish she WOULD! Like maybe if she got just a little hurt she would realize that things can be dangerous?She keeps getting up in the middle of the night and watching tv if I forget to take the remote...eating snack...then last night I caught her and told her to go to bed...a few minutes later I am laying in bed and I hear her unlock the front door and go out...I sent her dad to go get her...she said she wanted to look at the stars!At this point I feel like I have to lock her in her room at night or something...but what if she needs to pee?We had a long talk with her about how dangerous it was and what could have happened...but she doesn't get it! She acts like it then immediately goes back to not listening and doing whatever.Has anyone else been through this? Did you find a solution? What worked for you? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3ilOxc7
