Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Rolling eyes nervous tic question

I have a question about nervous tics. DS6 just started what we believe to be a nervous tic. He rolls he eyes from side to side. This just started about 4 days ago, but it seems to have gotten worse. I have watched him closely; the more uncomfortable he is the more he rolls his eyes. It�s very unnerving to watch, he even moves his head a little. Last year he used to flip his head to keep any of his hair of his face, so we cut his hair, yet he would still do the head flip, this lasted about two months. The eye rolling however is much more pronounced and more frequent. His hair was in his face again, so we did cut shorter. We also had him see his pediatrician today, who said not to worry, and to ignore it. Not an easy thing for us parents to do, the worry part. Has anyone else experienced something like this, and what did you do?
