DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. According to you your son is excellent in academics and can focus on all activities, can communicate very well and is highly analytical. That is certainly good for a 4-year-old child. I don't see anything wrong in the behavior of the child. At the age of 4, any child is supposed to be a bit hyper mainly because of the playful attitude. You may search internet for the signs and symptoms of hyperactivity and compare with your child. It's natural to wonder if ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) could be the cause of your children high energy. But just being hyper doesn't necessarily mean your child has the condition. Watch out for these other signs of ADHD
