Nowadays, due to the large number of stresses, nervous tic in children appears more and more often. A nervous tick is a disease in which one of the parts of your face or body begins to move spontaneously, for example, a child may twitch an eyebrow or twitch her lips. A person is not able to control a nervous tic, he appears most often after suffering severe stress or muscle strain, and after that he can appear at any time. Your child may get a nervous tick due to very tense relationships in the family. If you often swear and raise your voice with a child, he is constantly in a state of stress. If you severely limit your child and often blame him for nothing, a nervous tick will appear sooner or later.
A child’s nervous tick may appear due to the fact that he will copy another person, the child may copy the nervous tick of his classmate and, over time, he will begin to involuntarily twitch his shoulders or lips. If your child is very nervous at school and cannot get along with other people, he may close himself and this disease will appear over time. Such children never talk about what is inside them, they do not share their problems and inner experiences with their parents.
A nervous tick can be transmitted to your child if there has already been a person with the disease in the family. It is very important to minimize the communication of your child with such people so that you do not waste time on long-term treatment in the future.
The problem of a nervous tic can be even deeper if the child has a concussion or any other head injury. When the brain is disturbed, the central nervous system is disturbed. This type of neural tic can be cured by exclusively influencing the cause of the disease, an encephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain must be performed to understand which part of the brain is affected.
