Excessive eye rubbing-ideas?

January 10, 2008

My daughter has been rubbing her eyes excessively at school (we do not

see this at home, but I took her to school today so I could see for

myself.) I was wondering about cleaning solutions, perfumes, etc but

noticed when we pulled into the school parking lot it began so now I'm

wondering if its her nerves. She started with her second new TA of the

year in Jan so alot of adjustment for her (she is 13) do you think this

could be it? I feel so badly for her. She literally cannot do her

work at school (she is always on the honor roll and was happy at school

prior to her TA retiring) because she is rubbing her eyes so much. I

give her Claratin and allergy eye drops. I just ordered some TMG

thinking it might help calm her-she takes magnesium already. Thanks if

anyone has an idea.

Might be that. Try giving taurine.

If she is pressing on her eyes, try giving calcium.

Can you ask her why she does that?

How is the school addressing the fact she is not getting her school

work done?
