Difference between child with ADHD and child who is just… active?

My 3yo son is quite active. Him being my first one, I don’t know what 3yo are usually like. Should I consult with my doctor?He constantly moves around and active. But he can seem to sit long enough to do a coloring activity at the daycare.He hates anything too “brainy”: puzzles, games, drawing, etc. But he loves books enough to read them on his own for 10-30mins or play with lego for a long time.His language is a bit delayed but there’s also the issue of growing up in a bilingual home..His pretend play seems to be a free flowing stream of consciousness. We start by pretending to be insects (he likes being a beetle), then we “fight” and need doctors, so it becomes a doctor play. But then he sees a toy crane sitting next to us so all the sick insects (us) have to be towed by the crane. Is this how 3yos supposed to play??He has absolutely zero interest when I try to teach him something. He doesn’t even want to hold crayons. He puts up with me for whole 3 seconds. But he’d rather watch what others do like he is not interested, and then try it for himself later. I dont know if this is just his personal learning style, being naturally resistant, or something more serious. It’s a strange back and forth between inattention/disinterest and me finding him learning/able to do something that I’ve never seen him done before.When I try to get him to do something (eg. get him to practice saying complete sentences), it’s like he is on another planet. He seems to do OK in most daycare activities. he can follow tasks like throwing trash away, and he can follow tasks without problem when he feels up for it. Is he just a stubborn child?Despite the language delay, he talks a lot. He likes watching nature documentaries and he echoes the whole thing. It’s mostly gibberish but he mimics the pace, intonation, and general sounds so well that it almost sound like real, complete sentences if you hear him from few feet away. I’ve read ADHD kids talk constantly. Is this a symptom or is my kid just learning the language, albeit in a weird way? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3fZKlyD
