What should I do if my child has childhood neurology tics?

Patient's question:

My son recently noticed that he always blinked his eyes and kicked his legs hard, as well as made some noises with his mouth. If this didn't happen often, I wouldn't have paid attention, but recently it has become much more frequent. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was a childhood neurological disorder called tics.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, because Tourette syndrome can cause children to exhibit behavioral disorders and compulsive behaviors, restlessness, hyper-sensitivity, attention deficits, and some destructive behaviors. At this time, it is essential to pay close attention to guiding the child towards a positive mindset and helping them develop good habits. This can be achieved through behavioral guidance and medication.
