My 7 year old constantly rubs her forehead just above her left eye. She does it often and it has gotten to the point where she can't move once she starts. At times we have to physically make her stop so she can walk. She does it most often outside but sometimes indoors as well. We are taking her to the doctor but just wanted a little insight first.
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome!

I am sorry hear of your daughter's issue, but do believe you'll find an explanation and good treatment plan (if indicated) with your upcoming dr.'s appointment.

Making notes of when the behavior started, if it seems stress related, whether other changes coincided with the tendency, ect. will help her doctor in assessing the issue.

Wishing your family the best!
