Namely, what consistent steps parents need to take in relation to their child to solve this difficult problem.

Mark Twain 5 steps to help cope with nervous tics: 1. Adoption. Recognize that your child really has a disease and needs urgent qualified help from specialists - a neurologist and a practical child psychologist. It is important for a child to hear the words, I understand you.2. Hypercontrol. Stop trying to pull him down all the time, demand and control him so that he doesn’t produce nervous tics. This is an uncontrollable action. It is important for a child to understand and feel so that it does not happen - I am next to you.3. Stop the traumatic situation. For example, bullying in an educational institution, scandals in the family, punishment, etc. The child needs your support and safety of life.4. Health protection.
