When parents of children with TS or the children themselves are asked about the most difficult part of having TS, the most frequent answer is dealing with peers. Social interactions are potentially very challenging for children with TS. One of the most important things we can do for our children is to educate their peers about the disorder. This is admittedly not easy, but it is one of the most successful ways to reduce social problems.
