What is the reason why children keep blinking?

People usually blink frequently except when sleeping, which is good for eye health. Some people will stare at the screen for a long time without blinking when playing games or watching movies, which will affect eye health. But if a person blinks his eyes very frequently, it will seriously affect his appearance. Some parents will find that their children are always blinking. At this time, they should consider the following factors.

Reasons why children keep blinking:

If a child keeps blinking, first of all, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor and let the doctor see if it is caused by entropion or local inflammation. If the eye examination is normal, it may be caused by excessive tension and anxiety. So in this situation, we should first avoid putting too much pressure on children. Don't beat or scold your children, make sure they get enough sleep, and pay attention to eye hygiene.

If a child blinks frequently, parents must be alert to eye tics, provided eye diseases are ruled out. One of the early symptoms of tics is blinking. If you ignore the child's tics, the symptoms will gradually weaken and disappear. Do not repeatedly remind or blame your child, otherwise it will increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex and make tics more frequent.

If a child blinks frequently and unconsciously, it may be an eye disease, but eye diseases are often accompanied by symptoms such as eye discomfort, tears, and itchy eyes. Watching TV or computer for a long time will irritate the eyes and cause dry eyes and discomfort, so the eyes will blink frequently; because most tics in children start with blinking. So it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for examination.

Blinking is a common manifestation of tics in children and occurs in the early stages of tics. At this time, parents often ignore and misunderstand it as the child's habitual "little movements", which leads to worsening of the tic disorder and further induces unconscious tics in other parts of the child, such as wrinkling the forehead, twisting the mouth, shrugging shoulders, etc., as well as inattention and hyperactive behavior changes. Some children also make strange noises, or even swear and use bad words. This condition is medically called Tourette Syndrome in children.
