SUMMARY

If your child has ADHD and you've noticed sudden movements or sounds they can't seem to control, you're not alone! Many parents wonder if tics are related to ADHD, how common they are, and what—if anything—they should do about them. Today, we’re answering some of the most common questions we get about tics, including what they look like, when to be concerned, and strategies to support your child. Whether your child has experienced tics or you’re just curious about the connection, this episode is packed with practical info and reassurance. Tune in for a compassionate conversation that will help you feel more confident navigating this part of your child’s journey!
