What causes yawning while crying or participating in some activity?
Patient: Hi there, why does my 4yr old yawn when she cries or is at a swimming class? She gets 11.5hrs sleep and doesn t behave in tired manner. Sometimes she says she s tired when she needs to participate in an activity such as tennis or playball, which I might add her instructors say she s incredibly talented for her age. Is she just being lazy, seeking attention, has a medical condition or being a typical 4yr old? Doctor: hi this is quite normal in kids to yawn during activities, there is nothing to worry about. just see that she gets continuous sleep in the night from 8pm onwards and don't allow them to watch tv in the night.hope this is helpful to you, rate it if you like it. take care
