Children with tics, as a rule, become very challenging cases for psychologists and psychiatrists. The high prevalence (from 3 to 50 per 1000 children for chronic motor tics and 2.5 to 9.4 per 1000 children for vocal tics.) of these disorders has led to many colloquial ideas and misinformation about appropriate and effective treatment [1]. Patients and their families are frequently unable to correctly identify the symptoms and patients sometimes get stigmatised as a consequence of their tics [2]. Therefore, a lot of authors recommend starting the treatment of tics with psychoeducation involving the patient and his/her parents.
