Hi, thanks for asking.
Hyperactivity at this is normal. Also the child is developing individuality at this age and so may have issues regarding obeying. We cannot say this may be or may not be ADHD at this stage as we cannot say that the behaviours are developmentally inappropriate.
I would suggest you use reward system for the desired positive behaviour or for obeying you. And withdrawal of the rewards for not obeying you. It should be pre informed to the child.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
