My DS has just started doing this weird thing where he stands in one place stiffens up his whole body and kind of shakes, it sort of makes him look like he's having a seizure. I don't think it's anything to worry about as I remember doing it as an older kid and my DH and his Mum used to do it as toddlers apparently, but the reaction I have gotten from my family has been of shock so I just wanted to see- does anyone know what I mean for a start lol and has anyone elses' child done it? Do I need to be worried? Thanks ------------- Me 28, DH 29 DS born 20 Nov 2010 (4 years old) #2 due October 7 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My DS does a funny shaky thing with his mouth kinda wide open when he is really excited or over stimulated. Ive spoken to my Dr about it and he didnt seem worried (he happened to do it at the Dr so he saw it first hand) but Ive had a few comments from other people which of course makes me worried!! He has been a bit slow with his talking so we are on the waiting list with special ed so thought I would mention it to them too, just in case.
Sorry probably not much help!! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
