Question
What should parents pay attention to when their child has tic disorders?
Answer
Tourette syndrome is a very common condition that can cause significant physical and emotional harm to children. Parents should pay attention to the following points:
- Avoid showing anxiety and anger in front of your children, and guide them to participate in beneficial activities to shift their attention and create a relaxed and comfortable environment.
- Do not frequently change treatment hospitals or frequently visit the hospital, as the treatment for tic disorders is a gradual and repetitive process that cannot be rushed.
- Do not be overly cautious about Western medical treatments. Although Western medicine may have side effects, it is not likely to make the child “stupid.”
