Yes, I've heard of this. It has happened to a couple of my nephews and a few friends.

Kids do those things...just talk to him in private and tell him that it is rude to do that in front of guests and decide on a punishment in case he does it again...that way he knows the consequence ahead of time.  Good luck!

Take him to a child psychiatrist. Have him evaluated. It could be a physical/ emotional/ or mental disorder.~hugs+sr= *shrugs!

Depending on the personality of the child has alot to do with their nature. He may just need more attention from you than some children need from their parents. I have raised 2 children and they each were as different as daylight and dark. Your attitude toward him also has alot to do with his whines and cries. If it upsets you and he knows it he may whine more. Sometimes the more attention you pay to something the more the child will do it.

Oh for goodness sake!!! HOW old are you!? Are you really unable to sort your own life out? Kids need disipline. If you don't want you're man to be moody, tell them to fight elsewhere! Dependant on their ages, have you not tried teaching your kids correctly about how to behave in this society?? A smack probably wouldn't be out of place either!\nSend them to bed early if they won't stop fighting and if that won't happen, you've not done a good job at parenting, sorry!

I have a 10 yr old autistic son.  Although I haven't had a lot of trouble getting him to sleep at night there have been some times.  If your niece(?) does not sleep at night does she sleep during the day?  Try to get her switched around.  Look at what maybe stimulating her and keeping her from calming down.  Try different calming activities.  Does she look at books, listen to music, like to have her back rubbed?  Turn the lights low.  \n\nYou may need to find an autism specialist in your area for more help.  \n\nHang in there.  \nDoes your nieces family get any help services, like respite care? They may want to go to their county human services and check on this. It would give them a break and they would know she is being well cared for.

everyone has little "tics".  Tics such as these usually provide some kind of comfort.  Now, I have to say, that is an interesting one, but everyone has them.  I put my arms behind my head, which for me is usually a sure sign that I am tired or stressed out.  Honestly, to try and break that habit, you would have to develop a behavior plan.  if you want to know more about how to do that, please email me at this name on yahoo.

These are called "facial tics".\n\n"The cause of transient tic disorder can be physical or psychological. It may be a mild variant of Tourette's syndrome. The child may have facial tics or tics involving movement of the arms, legs, or other areas. Tics appear to get worse with emotional stress and do not occur during sleep."

I have a cousin that is exacxtly the same. My advice is to ignore him while he acts that way, then ask him what his problem is when he's in a good mood(especially if you have the upper hand, like you just bought him a soda or something)

There is something called Tuja or Thuja.  Maybe homeopath medicine.  Consult a doctor since the child is quite small and the area is near the eye.

I agree, when i was a kid it was called moody or lunatic. And they taught us to deal with it!
