First of all happy to hear your dauhter is doing well. My son has been having tics for 3 years now on and off and even last summer for almost 6 months i didnt notice them at all exept at times he watched tv. but during the day being outside at activities they seemed gone. So when this month 4 to 5 new tics submerged out of nowhwere i mus admit i panicked and i think at times he has noticed my frustration/sadness wich ofcourse doesn't help. so my question how do you deal with it as a parent? I feel like surfing the web for nights in a row i might be losing myself in worst case scenarios. I read about tic therapy did you ever considered this? and wich approach seems best to you? greetings

Hello I dont know if there are some people still around here! Im felt so understood for the first time reading these posts. I am going through the same thing with my son for a couple of years now where the tics wax and wane. All used to be barely noticable by others but now he started a couhgin tic that has me very upset. I also been googling Tourette for the last months and im scared for my son causse some cases really seem to make life unbearable. I'm becoming so depressed i also consider seeing a doctor for some anxietty medication. Its just so painful seeing your child not being able to control his own body. Im also scared my son can feel my hurt sometimes wich makes his tics worse. how are your children doing now? greetings Lindsey

Just wanted to say how helpful your post were for me. Im also a very worried mother of a son with several tics(mostly motor) wich tend to peak and lay low again. Now after a slight cold he developped a cough tic wich i must admit is very hard for me to deal with since its so obvious for everyone especially now a day (corona) i worry cause ive read this are vocal tics and tends to go more to the side of Tourette disorder. anyway i hope your daughter is doing well!
