My son have be twitching his legs..?
My son (4 1/2), has been twitching his legs. I notice this I think last week. He does it when he's watching tv and when I ask him why he's doing that he say doing what? Its like he doesn't know that he's doing it. Is this a tic? should I be concerned about tourette syndrome? As I muse about it he always moves his big toe contained by his shoe. He wears a hole in the sole of his shoe where on earth his toe is. Is this a tic? Any advice would be great. Thank you.
Answer: At 4 1/2 it could be a simple childhood tic disorder, but it could be tourettes.
I would keep an eye on it, cooperate to the doctor at his next well child checkup. To properly "be" tourettes, tics must be present for six months or longer.
If he grows out of it, it's not tourettes, if he keeps doing it, it just might be.
Waiting isn't the easiest item, but it's the best advice I can give..
Movement is organize to the brain and improves focus. It helps to cable the brain to work together...left brain and right brain. He is most likely moving to assist him focus on whatever his mind is doing. The reason he doesnt realize he is doing it, is because his mind is markedly focused...the body is amazing! Very common and nothing to verbs about. If in the adjectives, it interferes with his schooling, you can provide things like 'figit' ball or even special discs to put in school chairs that allow movement by the child that doesnt disrupt the class. Most Teachers are adapted with the need to move contained by order to organize.
by the approach, swinging is a way children trigger learning skills contained by language. Jumping, same thing. Skipping help children to learn to read by using both sides of the body, much like a child that crawls. Reading requires the eyes to cross over the "midline", and full body movements oblige to enable this. .
I would call the doctor and ask him/her nearly it. call a doctor. i think it would be more sporatic if it be Tourette, but im not sure
