No one is immune to migraine headaches, including children. According to the American Migraine Foundation, approximately 10 percent of children experience migraines. Children may be more likely to experience migraines if a parent or both parents get them. The AMF notes that children with one parent who suffers from migraines have a 50 percent chance of getting them as well, and that increases to 75 percent among children who have two parents that experience migraines. Children may even exhibit signs of migraines as early as infancy, as the AMF reports that colic in infants is a potential early indicator of migraines in youngsters.
