Tourette's & Tics in Children: Parent's Guide
Tourette's Syndrome involves involuntary movements or sounds called tics. These are not something your child can control — telling them to stop actually makes tics worse. Tics often come and go in waves and can change over time.
Telling them to stop doesn't help. Understanding why they can't is where healing begins.
Common signs to look for
- Repeated blinking, facial movements, or head jerking
- Throat clearing, sniffing, or making sounds
- Tics that get worse with stress or excitement
- Tics that reduce when deeply focused on something enjoyable
- Urge to tic that feels like an itch that must be scratched
- Tics that change — one stops and another starts
What this means day-to-day
School can be tough if classmates notice and comment on tics. Sitting still in class may make tics worse because they're suppressing them. Your child may be exhausted after school from the effort of holding tics in. Social situations can cause anxiety if they're worried about being noticed or teased.
Strengths to celebrate
- Often highly creative and quick-witted
- Develop strong self-awareness from a young age
- Many become excellent at reading social situations
- Build resilience and empathy through their experiences
- Can develop exceptional focus during activities they enjoy
