Hi there, I noticed a few months my son kept squinting his eyes and doing facial expressions while watching tv on his tablet. We limit time on devices and this seems to have passed now.
The last 3weeks we noticed now and again he would shake his head as if saying no, now and again, I thought it would pass like the last but it's not, it's got worse and it's pretty constant. I try not to make a point of it or as if to make it an issue, or embarres him.
I took him to the Dr yesterday as he's even doing it during his sleep.
The Dr asked him to do a few simple excerises such as standing in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and asked him to keep his balance, also asked him to look at his finger and follow with his eyes. During these two things the head shaking stopped, the Dr said he thinks as it stopped that's it's a behavioural problem. Is this right? This is all new to me, he said if it was a something to do with his brain it wouldn't just stop.
I asked my son to do his times tables in the car on the way home and it stopped again.
I'm not sure what to now. I'm waiting for a hospital appointment to see what they say.
Can anyone help please.
It makes me so sad
