Parents ask: My son is 14 years old this year, and I recently found out that he may be tics. I didn't know what was going on before, his tics were early and I reckoned he was supposed to be primary, but just guessing. His earliest days were when he was in kindergarten, he was afraid of school, he began to cry at five o'clock in the morning, and after he went to elementary school, the teacher told me that the children were particularly inattentive. Can I still be treated at the age of 14?
Dr. Haiying replied:
The 14-year-old child has reached the junior high school stage, and this time tics affect the child's learning and life. For children at this stage, in fact, it is still necessary to make an assessment according to the child's situation, and then make targeted adjustments. For example, if the child's emotional regulation is not good, we can help him to carry out certain improvement and counseling. There is also the communication between friends, and some counseling can be carried out.
Parents are more concerned about the child's academic problems, but the academic this piece is very difficult, if his foundation is not very good, parents can see if the child has talent in other aspects, such as painting, such as sports, the child is very energetic can also go to see the talent in sports, pay attention to the child's specialty or some skills, such as some children especially like to study robots, carpentry, these can be used as a training direction.
