Baby and childhood illnesses: tics BABY AND CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES: TICS
Tics commonly occur between the ages of five and ten years. They are repetitive, purposeless, involuntary movements. Often they commence for a reason, such as a sore eye, but then their automatic nature takes over. Winking the eye, tossing the head, shrugging the shoulders or jerking an arm or hand are common movements. Nearly always these have an emotional basis. The well-adjusted, normal child will rarely have persisting tics.
Treatment
An effort to find an emotional cause is often worthwhile, for most cases have a nervous origin. Strict parental domination, with no available outlet for emotional stresses, is a common cause. Stressful situations at home, or at school, or with peers, may often provide causes for this outward manifestation. Frequently, if the cause is found and relief can be offered (by correcting the problem), the condition may be resolved. Sometimes tics persist into adult life.
