Hi, My son is 3 yrs old. Since birth he does weird action when he gets excited or enthusiastic about. Initially it was not bothersome,but the practice has now become his habit. Is it normal or what can be done to divert him from these kind of movements/actions.
It's a behavior or habit problem. You can explain to the child not to do this as everyone sees this as bad and no one will love him if he does that. Secondly this habit has developed only because some person gives positive response to this behavior which re-enforces this behavior. So ask the persons not to do so. Thirdly give him rewards he if consciously gives up the practice.
