Pediatric acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles (0.14 to 0.16 mm in diameter), unlike adult acupuncture, with needle retention times adjusted to a short 5 to 10 minutes. Most children become accustomed to it after two to three sessions and receive it well. Forcing a procedure causes a fear response and sympathetic nervous system activation, which can actually worsen tics, so the child's psychological readiness is the top priority. Initially, acupoints are stimulated with non-invasive methods such as tapping stimulation or magnets, and once the child builds trust, a transition to needles is made. This process carries healing value in itself for tic treatment — the building of trust.
