A teacher is talking to the school nurse about a child in her classroom who has a tic disorder. The teacher mentions that the boy frequently trips other children although no one has ever been hurt. The teacher then further states that she ignores him when that happens because it is part of his disorder. The nurse should tell the teacher:

1. “Tripping other children is not a tic, so you can respond to that as you would in any other child.”

2. “I can't believe that you actually allow him to get away with that!”

3. “I think that is the best choice unless some parents of the other children start to protest about it.”

4. “If no one else is getting hurt, then it seems harmless and might prevent the development of a worse behavior.”
