That could really hinder him in kindergarten. You need to figure out what his triggers are. Then you need to show him ways to deal with this.

But this is just me.

His iq rose 15 points in the past year, but yrt he is really behind his peers socially and academically.
Avatar f tn Hi Judy, I am specialist teacher and frequently see what you are describing. I suggest your daughter is assessed for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Children frequently 'zone out' and continually shake their leg or tap repeatedly. Hope this helps!

Avatar m tn The toxoplasmosis parasite may also trigger the development of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, Parkinson’s Disease, Tourette’s syndrome and attention deficit disorders."
