Is It To Be Concern About Child Yawning Often?

my 5 year old boy started yawning several times during the day about 6 months ago. we initially thought it was just a tic and that it will go away, however, he still does. we also thought he needed to go to bed earlier, but that has not stopped his constant yawning either. i do not think this is normal and i wonder if i should take him to a pediatrician. any advice? thank you very much

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, this is a habitual thing, you need to counsel the child that he should not yawn repeatedly. As child grows this yawning will decrease, don't be too angry on child and counsel him with tenderness.
Take care.
