Question
When placed on the bed, babies often shake their heads and twist their bottoms. This behavior becomes more intense when they undress at night. What treatments have been tried in the past, and what were their effects? What kind of assistance is needed? Are symptoms such as frequent head-shaking, shoulder trembling, blinking frequently, strabismus, puckering up, and speaking inappropriately signs of tics? If these symptoms reappear, further detailed examinations at a hospital are needed. The occurrence of tics may be related to brain structure or central nervous system neurotransmitter imbalance, and may also be associated with family environment. Long-term exposure to frightening situations, anxiety, or an adverse family environment may lead to the development of tics. Prolonged television viewing may also trigger tics.
