FWIW, 4 does sound a tad young to me. ADHD is supposed to be a diagnosis of last resort after all other possible explanations have been eliminated. Sometimes bright children are mistaken for having "attention" issues because they are underchallenged and bored. Unidentified health issues can look like "ants in the pants" and be mistaken for attention issues. Sadly, drugs are all too often advocated for as a convenience for adults dealing with the child. This can cause permanent impairment because they impact the still developing brain.
