My son is 6 years old. During the course of the day ,like every 10 minutes he blinks his eyes very fast ,involuntary, when I tell him not to do that he says ok , but then it happens again . I had him check by an eye doctor and his eyes are ok , he does not need glasses. Please advise .Thank you
Hi...by what you quote this seems like a habit disorder. Usually kids see others doing this and try to imitate and try it out, and sometimes it becomes a habit. If you keep telling him, not to do it, then it will be like reminding him about the act. So try to ignore it and if he forgets it fair enough and if not ask him if he doesn't do it there will be toffee for him, and it is positive reinforcement. Regards -
