Hi Jenniebeth,
Greetings from India! Actually a lot of research has shown a link between TV and hyperactivity. Because the TV provides rapidly changing stimuli, it tends to increase sy,ptoms of hyperactivity among ADHD kids. This is particularly true in case your child is watching a lot of cartoons. You might benefit from cutting down his TV time.
Also, it is a good idea to assess him as early as you can. The sooner you start treatment (medication as well as behaviorn modification), the better it is for him as well as for the other family members.
