For several days I have been observing my 4-year-old son's involuntary movements - nervous tics with his hands, something similar to pulling, lifting his hands to shoulder height, occur with varying frequency, sometimes even several times a minute. I try to ensure a good atmosphere and peace, but the movements are repeated regardless of the situation. The son goes to kindergarten, eats he althy.
Hello, from your letter I understood that my 4-year-old son is developing properly and for several days you have been observing some disturbing behavior in the form of regular lifting of your hands to shoulder height. The fact that a child is developing properly should reassure you, because many symptoms are taken into account in making any diagnosis. Please report your concerns in the kindergarten, ask the preschool teacher for feedback and, if possible, for the observation of the preschool psychologist. If this behavior continues to bother you, please record it and describe the circumstances of the movements over the course of several days. You can arrange a consultation with a child neurologist, child psychiatrist, child psychologist - diagnostician of developmental disorders. You can take advantage of the free consultation at mental he alth clinics for children and adolescents in each district, specialist clinics at children's hospitals in Warsaw, and at the Masovian Neuropsychiatry Center in Zagórze. All the best. Dominika Ambroziewicz-Wnuk
