[quote=Anonymous]I went to a ped neurologist for exactly this. Neurologist said ignoring them/not drawing attention to them, they are normal to onset around 5-7 years of age. Not at all meant to scare you, just sharing our story. However, our neurologist ordered an EEG to be on the safe side because my child described things sounding like auras, which the doctor said could be related to tics. After multiple abnormal EEGs, my kid is now on anti-seizure medication. If you do mention anything to your son, I would gently ask if he feels anything related to the tics (my kid describes them as feeling like ocean waves across their chest which leads to the tics). Definitely don't say things like, "why are you doing that/whatever the motion is" or "stop doing that" etc.[/quote]
