Question
Why do children clench their teeth and cross their legs tightly?
Answer
Children may exhibit a state of overall tension when crying, which is relatively common. It is recommended that parents pay close attention and observe for a period of time to determine the cause. If the child frequently shows this behavior, it is suggested to bring the child to a pediatrician for an EEG examination to determine if it is caused by epilepsy. After diagnosis, further treatment can be pursued.
