Boy with Tourettes syndrome. Explaining what he wishes other people would understand on the first day of school to his class. Explain what tics are. A tic is an uncontrolled sudden, repetitive movement or sound that can be hard to control. Tics involving involve movements are called motor tics. Tics involving sounds are called vocal tics. Tics can be either simple or complex. The type of tics a person has may change over time. How often tics happen also may change. Tics often come and go and can get worse when a person is stressed or anxious. It's perfectly normal to worry that a tic may never go away. Fortunately, that's not usually the case. Most tics are temporary. They tend to not last more than 3 months at a time. Many times, people with a tic can think that their tic is the worst one ever. Of course it isn't, but it's still a concern for many people with tics. And those worries can cause unnecessary feelings of embarrassment and actually make the tic worse. Nobody wants to make tics worse, but is there any way to make them better? While you can't cure tics, you can take some easy steps to lessen their impact: Don't focus on it. If you know you have a tic, forget about it. Concentrating on it just makes it worse. Try to avoid stress-filled situations as much as you can — stress only makes tics worse. Get enough sleep. Being tired can makes tics worse. So make sure to get a full night's rest! Let it out! Holding back a tic can just turn it into a ticking bomb, waiting to explode. Have you ever felt a cough coming on and tried to avoid it? Didn't work out so well, did it? Chances are it was much worse. Tics are very similar. A tic? What tic? If a friend of yours has a tic, don't call attention to it. Chances are your friend knows the tic is there. Pointing it out only makes the person think about it more.

In a quiet little village, six-year-old Siraj loved exploring and learning. One sunny morning, his grandmother gave him a small pouch. "Inside are three magic seeds," she said. "They’ll grow if you plant them with kindness, honesty, and patience." The Seed of Kindness Siraj planted the first seed and decided to call it the Seed of Kindness. That day, he saw his friend Zara struggling to carry a basket of apples. "Let me help!" he said. Together, they carried the basket home. That evening, the seed had sprouted, glowing softly. The Seed of Honesty The next day, Siraj planted the second seed. While playing, he accidentally broke Ali’s toy car. "I’m sorry," he admitted. "It was an accident. I’ll help you fix it." Ali smiled, and together they repaired the toy. That evening, the second seed sprouted with golden leaves. The Seed of Patience On the third day, Siraj planted the final seed. While building a kite with Ali, it kept falling apart. Siraj wanted to quit but remembered his grandmother’s words about patience. He took a deep breath, tried again, and finally, the kite flew high.
