[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds a lot like a tic (as folks above have mentioned) which is really common at that age. My son had a few at age 5 or six and we did check in with his ped about it who said as long as they are simple and not interfering with life just to ignore it basically there isn’t really anything you could do about it. If it were to worsen and really start to interfere then You might want some additional evaluation but it’s usually something that goes away on its own. [/quote]

Same here.  My son had tics starting around 8 and they changed over time.  Eye rolling, neck stretching, etc.  Went to a neurologist and he said it can be treated in extreme cases, but better left alone and not to bring attention to it or ask them to stop (can't).  If it does continue and get worse there are strategies, but again, we chose to leave alone.  Son is now in college, in a fraternity, and has a crazy social life.  He still has some neck stretching, but he doesn't talk about it and I dont think he notices and people don't mention.

Good luck![/quote]
