Doctor's answer:
Your child's cross-legged behavior is known as emotional rubbing syndrome, which is more common in girls. It typically occurs around the age of 2, with some cases starting as early as 10 months. The condition usually decreases after the age of 4-5, but it may sometimes persist into puberty. During episodes, the child may appear agitated, flushed, and sweaty, with their inner thighs rubbing against their external genitalia. EEG results are generally normal.
