Nursery School wants my child evaluated for ADD/ADHD

IT WAS THE SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL AND I COULD NOT WAIT TO PICK UP MY 3 YR OLD DAUGHTER EMILY. I WAS WAITING AT THE DOOR WITH ALL THE OTHER MOMS/DADS WHEN THE TEACHER NOTICED ME AND SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO TALK WITH ME. MY HEART SANK AND I WANTED TO PUKE. I FELT EMBARASSED AND A MILLION EYES ON ME. SHE TOOK MY CHILD AND ME IN A SEPERATE CLASSROOM AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I AM THINKING WHAT THE HELL DID SHE DO? THE TEACHER ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS AT HOME? DO YOU DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILD? IS SHE ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND THE HOUSE AND EAT? i SAID NO TO MOST THINGS. I WAS IN SHOCK. TEARS STARTED SPILLING DOWN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CHILD. SHE SAID THAT SHE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. DRIVEN BY A MOTOR. CANT KEEP FOCUS. SELECTIVE HEARING. I FELT SHE WAS READING FROM A PEDITRICIAN PAMPLET. IS THIS WOMAN NUTS. AT THE END OF THE "DISCUSSION" I FELT STUNNED AND ANGRY. I INSTANTLY HATED THIS WOMAN. I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING THROUGH A PROCESS OF DENIAL, UNDERSTANDING, SEEING AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE MIGHT ME TRUTH IN ALL THIS. BUT THEN I GO BACK TO ANGER. I AM PAYING YOU TO WATCH MY KID-DO YOUR JOB. BUT THEN, I THINK. YEAH, SHE IS ACTIVE AND I AM TIRED BY THE END OF THE DAY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CHILD. BUT I AM STILL MAD THAT HER TEACHER SAW IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING HER EVALUATED BY A DEVLP SPECIAL PERSON AFTER SEE MY PEDITRICIAN. cAME TO TERMS WHEN EMILY CLIMED INSIDE A BOX IN FRONT OF THE DR. CANT EXPLAIN THAT ONE. JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE BEGINNINGS OF THIS PROCESS. SCARED BUT TRYING TO BE A GOOD MOM. ANY ADVICE ALL EARS.
