Why does the child keep shaking his head?

Children will develop various symptoms as they grow up. If their mothers do not take good care of them, they will easily get sick. If you find your child shaking his head, you must solve the problem in time. Shaking the head is caused by muscle contraction. If the baby lacks calcium, the elasticity of the muscles will decrease, which is a manifestation of muscle spasm. Be sure to supplement your baby with calcium and vitamins, and give your child enough confidence.

The baby shakes his head due to external factors during the growth process.

1. The indoor temperature may be too high, or the baby may be covered with too many quilts, causing him to be too hot.

2. When the baby does not accept new food, he will resist by shaking his head or pushing the food away with his hands to indicate that he does not want to eat. This just requires letting the baby try it slowly and many times.

The baby has involuntary shaking of the head due to tics

Clinical data show that children's head shaking is closely related to tics. And the manifestations of tics are diverse. Children with this condition suffer from attention deficit and learning difficulties. Their symptoms make them susceptible to ridicule, mockery, and isolation from their classmates, which hurts their self-esteem, makes them withdrawn, and may even retaliate against and become hostile to those who ridicule them. This can easily lead to extreme behavior and make them more likely to take the path of crime.

If your child exhibits the following symptoms in addition to shaking his head, then your child is likely suffering from tics.

1. Eye muscle twitching: manifested as raising eyebrows, frowning, blinking, squinting, rolling eyes, staring, etc.;

2. Facial muscle twitching: manifested as grinning, pouting, shrinking nose, making weird faces, etc.;

3. Neck muscle twitching: manifested as nodding, shaking head, twisting neck, shrugging shoulders, etc.;

4. Symptoms of upper limb tics: shaking hands, raising arms, twisting arms, rubbing fingers, and clenching fists

5. Symptoms of lower limb tics: manifested as shaking legs, kicking legs, tiptoeing, spinning, abnormal gait, etc.;

6. Vocal twitching of the throat: manifested as abnormal sounds, such as dry coughs, clearing of the throat, roaring, or constant spitting, or stuttering, improper syllables, improper stress, involuntary obscenities, swearing, and dirty talk.

In addition to the causes of childhood tics introduced above, some parents are worried that their children may be easily infected with bacteria and viruses outside, so they keep their children at home and rarely have contact with other children. Children who come into contact with too few people in their lives will become accustomed to being silent. Therefore, if a child lacks playmates, it may also cause late speaking.
