Summary

“We don’t see it, he’s great for us.” “Nope, we don’t have any issues with her.” “Anxiety? Are you sure?” “OCD? I never see him wash his hands.” (eye roll to that one) “He is a perfect angel when he is with me.”Ugh. These types of comments can make you doubt all that you know and see.Is it me? Am I causing her anxiety? Am I causing this behavior? Do I make his OCD worse?You are not alone. Parents everywhere are having these thoughts. They toss and turn before they go to sleep. They have pangs of doubt, guilt and anger when their child turns into a puddle for them and holds it together for everyone else.So what is going on? Well let’s put the parental guilt and shame down for a minute and look at some alternative perspectives. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk about why many of our kids with anxiety or OCD have the hardest time when they are us. And why it often has nothing to do with the parenting.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT parenting survival
0:15.8	podcast. Today I'm going to talk to you about something that I think a lot of us
0:20.6	deal with and that is our kids tend to have more behavioral issues,

0:51.4	to back interviews lately and I really enjoy just being able to talk to you directly

1:04.8	But I hope you enjoyed the last few interviews,
1:07.3	because I did get to interview some really awesome people,
1:10.3	but my favorite pastime is just sitting here chatting with you directly so a lot of us are getting either our kids are already back at school or they're getting ready to go back to school
1:22.0	For those of you in Australia, you're like in the middle of the school year,
