Boy with Tourettes syndrome. Explaining what he wishes other people would understand on the first day of school to his class. Explain what tics are. A tic is an uncontrolled sudden, repetitive movement or sound that can be hard to control. Tics involving involve movements are called motor tics. Tics involving sounds are called vocal tics. Tics can be either simple or complex. The type of tics a person has may change over time. How often tics happen also may change. Tics often come and go and can get worse when a person is stressed or anxious. It's perfectly normal to worry that a tic may never go away. Fortunately, that's not usually the case. Most tics are temporary. They tend to not last more than 3 months at a time. Many times, people with a tic can think that their tic is the worst one ever. Of course it isn't, but it's still a concern for many people with tics. And those worries can cause unnecessary feelings of embarrassment and actually make the tic worse. Nobody wants to make tics worse, but is there any way to make them better? While you can't cure tics, you can take some easy steps to lessen their impact: Don't focus on it. If you know you have a tic, forget about it. Concentrating on it just makes it worse. Try to avoid stress-filled situations as much as you can — stress only makes tics worse. Get enough sleep. Being tired can makes tics worse. So make sure to get a full night's rest! Let it out! Holding back a tic can just turn it into a ticking bomb, waiting to explode. Have you ever felt a cough coming on and tried to avoid it? Didn't work out so well, did it? Chances are it was much worse. Tics are very similar. A tic? What tic? If a friend of yours has a tic, don't call attention to it. Chances are your friend knows the tic is there. Pointing it out only makes the person think about it more.

Der fünfte Geburtstag und das Missgeschick An Namas fünftem Geburtstag, einem besonderen Tag, an dem er traditionell seine erste blaue Hose tragen sollte, geschieht ein Unglück. Frau Tina schickt Nama mit Seidenflocken los, um Geld für den Hosenstoff zu verdienen. Doch er trifft auf seine Tante Frau Schumer, die in einer vornehmen Sänfte sitzt. Als Nama ihr die Seide anbietet, beschuldigt sie ihn des Bettelns, reißt das Paket auf und wirft die kostbaren Seidenflocken in den Abgrund. Ohne das Geld kann Frau Tina keine Hose kaufen, und Nama ist verzweifelt, weil er seinen Kinderrock nicht ablegen kann. Das Geschenk des Zauberers Am Geburtstag läuft Nama traurig auf die Felder, wo er einem hungrigen Bettler begegnet. Trotz ihrer eigenen Not lädt er ihn nach Hause ein. Der Bettler entpuppt sich als Zauberer und schenkt Nama eine magische Mühle, die Wünsche erfüllt, wenn man sie dreht. Er lehrt Nama ein geheimes Zeichen, um sie zu stoppen. Nama wünscht sich eine blaue Hose und eine Jacke aus Seide, und die Mühle erfüllt seinen Wunsch. Später wünscht er sich auch die verlorenen Seidenflocken zurück, die daraufhin ins Haus zurückkehren.

The two black cats are nearby: the large, lazy black male cat is lounging on the counter, watching with sleepy curiosity, while the small, frisky black female cat is on the floor, tilting her head as if puzzled. The kitchen is cozy, with wooden cabinets, a table with a teapot, and a window letting in soft morning light. Grandma's appearance matches the previous illustration for consistency.
