My gorgeous confident daughter who has just turned 8 started getting the odd tick, such as blinking, grimacing and nodding about a year ago. It has got much worse recently with her arms flinging out, and constant blinking and teeth nashing.
I have not yet taken her to the doctor as research on the web seems to imply, no point as nothing can be done and it doesn't pass until teenage years. I wish that weren't true as it really is becoming a bit of an affliction.
She is a bright girl, exceptionally good at literacy, reasonably good at maths, very social, nicely behaved, polite, fun. She is into drama and music and is left handed.
Could it be the start of tourettes??? I feel so sorry for her, as although she says she doesn't,t mind she has noticed it more recently, and it affects her table manners as she knocks thing over nd spills food as her hand shoots out involuntarily.
Any words of comfort, not sure can bear the opposite. I know it is minor in the grand scheme of things and she is healthy and I am so grateful and appreciative of that.
