Yes, it definitely sounds to me as if she thinks better while moving and talking, not that the moving and talking interfere with her ability to think or to concentrate. Two very different things.

This is one of my problems with the heavy focus on ADD/ADHD these days. ADD/ADHD is a real thing, and kids and adults who are frustrated by their own bodies and brains need help, certainly. It's good that they can get it. But then again, not every squirmy, chatty kid is ADD/ADHD--especially at 2yo!

The diagnosis is supposed to help the *child* in question, NOT to make easier the lives of the adults who care for the child. If the child is perfectly content and able to focus and learns without problem, then the child doesn't need a diagnosis, no matter how tired the parent/grandparent/sitter/teacher is at the end of the day.

All IMHO, of course...
