Momxiety

I am in the same boat... My 9 year old son has suddenly developed motor tics. Neck movement - as well as others. He also appears to have vocal tics - which he is trying to manage into the current scenario around him. He seems completely hyper active and needs to be constantly busy. I can tell that whatever is going on is keeping his mind so busy that at times he has trouble comprehending a simple sentence - as if he hasn't heard me. He is having trouble falling asleep. It just seems so sudden - and therefore hard to comprehend. Paed has seen him and again it's a wait and see approach with habit reversal therapy. Has anyone had success with habit reversal therapy? In the meantime I am using Tic Tamer and Rescue Remedy - we start Reflexology and Esquetarian Therapy this week too. Also ensuring exercise. But truthfully it's awful to watch; and even more difficult to comprehend that this is his life now. It seems to me that it is exhausting him.
