My dd has just turned 9 and for the past few years has had a nervous throat clearing tic which seems worse when she is tired/end of term etc. It's particularly bad at the moment. She has dyslexia and often finds school a bit overwhelming so I think this is tied to it. I also do the same when I'm nervous and feel so bad that I seem to have passed this on to her, particularly as she feels very self conscious and tells me that the teachers glare at her at assembly and children make comments. Has anyone else had to deal with this and have they any solutions??? Thanks.
