Questions for Parents of Preschool Children with ADHD

I am writing a book for parents of preschool children with ADHD. If you could possibly answer my questions, I will incorporate those answers into my book in terms of describing preschool children with ADHD as well as creating interventions for their behavior.  NO NAMES WILL BE USED! Thank you so much in advance.
