Dr. Zambrano discussed strategies in parenting a child with TS & co-occurring disorders. One of the great challenges in parenting a child with TS is figuring out how to deal with misbehavior. Should we take a strict approach where there are clear consequences for misbehavior? Should we focus only on rewarding positive behaviors? Do we set firm boundaries or try and be flexible and negotiate?
in a previous webinar Dopamine was spoken of as increasing Tics and other unwanted behavior. Johns Hopkins is doing studies to say the opposite. that through Dopamine there may be connections to finding new tic-responsive medications. Is this something that is still very misunderstood? do we know the impacts of neurotransmitters on tic behavior and medication effectiveness
