My son have these annoying doomed to failure conduct?
My son has some really annoying habits. Not like biting your nail etc. He is 10. He blinks alot, but closes his eyes for a couple seconds, then opens them. He also make this little noise, a quick "hmm" all the time, w/o thinking something like it. He also wrinkles his nose up, does all of these all the time. He know he has these bad habits too. I hail as him on it sometimes and he says he can't help it. And I know he can't, but I tell him he wishes to try really hard and focus on it. I'm afraid his friends will make fun of him in college etc. What can I do to help him and what can he do to stop doing these? And why do some people even have these annoying traditions?
IT"S TOURETTE"S SYNDROME. AH #@$%
Ask him if his eye is annoying him, i usually blink alot or hold the blink and then reopen them because my eyes inch, sting within a way because of looking at a monitor too long , or just bothering me in anyway. Maybe he does the capricious ''hmm'' because he wants to talk but nothing is coming out of his mind and its freshly coming out randomly.
If anyone think he has a problem they are WRONG! He is a perfectly fine boy. I think you inevitability to let one of his friends at school say something roughly speaking and he will just stop because he does not want to be ridiculed. I am sure your son is bright. Back off a tad and see if he is upset one day when he comes home.
You involve to have him see his doctor.
The "habits" you describe can be caused by medical problems, such as a tic disorder, or it can be as simple as allergies. My 13 year old blinks her eyes when her allergies are bothering her. Antihistamine eye drops do the trick.
All the best.
ADHD?
Could be some mild anxiety. I do that helpful of stuff over stupid things like, what if the person I'm calling doesn't recognize my voice?
By "turret" do you mean Tourettes Syndrome?
He have ticks! I had that when I was little but I grew out of it, it's normal. I stopped when I be like 10, so don't freak out, okay?
My daughter was doing the extended blink thing you explained and we finally figure out she has dry eyes. She also has allergies and the blinking and nose wrinkling run together.
Don't freak out about this because it might make him self conscious.
Get him some eye drops for dry eye and see if it helps. It can't hurt to try. They are around $3.00 at the drug store.
It sounds like he may hold a slight case of Turrets Syndrome. I would suggest talking with a home dr.
Answers: My son had some odd behaviors when he was 10 as powerfully..
He used to blink his eyes, and then blow air into his eyes which made his bangs flip up (yes it be rather humerous, but also annoying).
I ignore it,and it stopped.
Sometimes i think it's best to permit these things go and let them run their course.
I usually don't diagnose things but I can tell you exactly what is wrong. Your son has Tourettes Syndrome. You need to consult to a pediatrician . My son has it and went to a psychiatrist and learnt self hypnosis to stop the tics. All the things you describe are what my son did. He would also roll his eyes up within his head constantly. Your son needs to see someone who specialises in Tourettes. Trying to stop his tics is similar to trying to stop a sneeze. It is next to impossible. Do some research on the internet (take no notice of the horrific stories, they are the minority). My son has flare ups when he is stressed. But it is not a disastrous thing to have. I just put in the picture myself that at least he is healthy. It is not cancer it is vocal and physical tics. They will not spoil him. My son when he was diagnosed with it actually stood up within his class and told them all about his "ticks"(he thought they were spelt that instrument lol) and how he is seeing a doctor to help to control them. He was never teased for them certainly very few people saw them. He could hold them in most of the time at conservatory but when he got home he would have to "let them out" so you will probably find that they are worse at home than at institution. Best thing I can recommend is self hypnsis taught him him by someone that specialises in this,children and Tourettes. My son tried relaxation/meditation but that stoppped working so consequently we went on to the next step. My son is now 10 (diagnosed at 7) and is a smiling healthy boy,.
Edit: My son was and is normal within everyway. He is actually the smartest kid in his year level. You asked direction and as the things you describe are all things that point to Tourettes it would be worth investigating. But if you are of the "Ignore it and it won't be anything " parenting style then don't do a thing
