From 1–6 October 2026, you can ask about: - Behaviours you’ve noticed at home - Attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity - Signs that may appear in preschoolers - ADHD in girls and less obvious presentations - When to seek professional assessment - How to support your child while you figure things out Parents-to-be are welcome too — ask about what to know about ADHD and child development as your little one grows.
