Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

Quite a high percentage of school aged children, 5 to 10 yrs, will develop a tic or tics that totally go away. I think it's around 10% although I have seen higher percentages stated. [Kaplan and Sadock - 5% to 24%]. For diagnostic purposes they used to be called transient tics but I think they're now called provisional tics.
