My 4 year old too!  He has been blinkinh a lot lately, even when he is not watching TV.  I made a Dr. apt for him.  Does anyone know what this is?  He too twitches, and does a shoulder thing too.

its funny you say that my son who is 4 years old has started excessive eye blinking and is also twitching his neck and shoulders alot. I have shown his eyes to an opthomologist who says that he is doing it for attention but I am not too sure that is the case.
