• Early warning signs of ADHD and the importance of early intervention.

• Everything you need to know about what to look for and how to treat the behavior and emotional difficulties during this age will be presented.

• Early childhood teachers and parents of children with ADHD who have younger siblings may be especially interested in this topic given that ADHD is a genetic disorder that runs in families.  

• Knowing the signs to look for at an early age and what to do while a child's brain is in the early stages of development is crucial in order to help children reach their highest potential both at home and in the school setting.
