What causes children to shrug?

Many adults have the habit of hunching their shoulders, which will not cause much harm. However, if a child shrugs his shoulders, parents should pay attention to it. This is usually not a bad habit. It may be pathological shoulder looseness, an unconscious reaction of the child, so it is necessary to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. So what causes this symptom?

First, what’s wrong with children shrugging their shoulders?

It can be initially considered as tics. Common symptoms of tics include shrugging, pouting, nodding, etc. If not treated in time, they will gradually develop to the neck, shoulders, torso and limbs, and cause movements such as twisting the neck, shrugging, shaking hands, and stomping feet. This involuntary movement is sudden, short-lived and purposeless.

Suggestions: The above symptoms are aggravated when there are many people around and when the mood is tense, and alleviated when the mood is relaxed. It is still important to provide children with a pleasant recovery environment

Second, what is the reason why children always shrug their shoulders frequently?

The initial symptoms of childhood tics are simple tics of the face and upper limbs, such as blinking, pursing lips, shrugging shoulders, and shaking heads. The course of the disease is short-term tics within one year, and chronic tics for more than one year. Gradually, they will develop into complex tics, and the child will not only twitch in one or two parts of the body, but in multiple parts of the body, such as the limbs and torso.

Third, consider whether it is a tic disorder.

Tourette syndrome is characterized by involuntary, sudden, rapidly repetitive muscle twitches, often accompanied by explosive, involuntary vocalizations and obscenities. The tic symptoms start from the face and neck and gradually spread downwards. The locations and forms of twitching vary, such as blinking, squinting, pouting, shaking head, shrugging shoulders, shrinking neck, stretching arms, swinging arms, straightening chest, bending over, rotating body, etc. If this applies to you, it is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible. Traditional Chinese medicine ear acupuncture has a certain effect in treating tics.

Fourth, the child should have tics.

The cause of these symptoms in children is tics, a syndrome characterized by multiple involuntary tics, language or behavioral disorders. If early symptoms can be detected, early diagnosis and early treatment will undoubtedly have a positive and effective impact on the prognosis. We should work on psychological adjustment.
