AIBU to ignore 'ticks'

[Whatdoyouthinkthen]

DD (8) has developed a 'tick' over the last few months.
She very quickly shakes her hands and arms as if she is shaking off water (if that makes sense).
She also shakes each leg at a time if she is sitting or lying down.
She does this every few minutes at it's worst.
AIBU to ignore it and not make a big deal out of it or should I really be doing something about it?

Bless her. I would ignore it and monitor for now. Perhaps speak to the health visitor if you are concerned. Ticks come and go, so if ignored this should disappear or lessen.
I have the same upper limb tick and it's very rare I get it this days.mthe less I think about it, the less it happens.
Good luck

I developed a tick at the same age....I used to say "Z" very quickly under my breath....ALL the time. It went away..my parents and siblings did notice and they said "Why do you keep doing that?" but obviously I couldn't explain....it was just a compulsion.

We were open about it though...my parents spoke to me about it and asked quetions now and then...but weren't critical about it...just interested.I remember getting irritated with myself...it went away as suddenly arrived.
