Summary

OCD loves to hide. It loves to go undetected. We often think that compulsions are obvious behaviors, like over washing or over straightening. Things that we can see. Things we can measure.But compulsions are often so much more complicated than that. They can be subtle. They can hide in plain sight.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I reveal the three most commonly missed compulsions in childhood OCD. If your child has OCD, it is highly likely that they are doing at least one of these.Links to kids youtube videos:Ocd loop: https://youtu.be/SjoNAKgt2yQMental compulsions: https://youtu.be/bJR7KUGmeokReassurance: https://youtu.be/MMHDc7oAuagUnstuck: an OCD Kids Movie: www.ocdkidsmovie.com***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCDhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT parenting survival podcast where you get help and guidance
0:08.0	through the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not
0:14.8	intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your
0:18.9	host child therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:29.5	Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. I hope you're doing well. We are getting a little stir crazy here but I feel like we're
0:36.7	kind of getting into a beat as much as you can during these weird, super weird times.
0:41.3	I wanted to talk to you today about I want to get back to just
0:46.3	giving you some information and some knowledge about things that maybe you don't
0:50.8	think about or maybe some things that you're missing when it comes to your child's
0:54.4	OCD. So I thought it would be good to cover three of the most commonly miscompulsions in childhood OCD.
1:07.4	Kind of go into what they look like, how they can show up, so that you know how to handle them when you see them in your child.
1:11.5	You know, ironically, I think the more that we're home with our kids, the more we're actually seeing a lot of their struggles. Are you finding that? I mean, I'm not necessarily saying that we're seeing struggles around the coronavirus,
1:24.9	although some kids definitely are, but I think like I'm kind of in a weird way getting to know my
1:30.2	kids anxiety and OCD issues a lot more in depth because there's no escaping it.
1:37.3	They're not going to school, they're not going away from me, I'm not going to work, and so it's 24 hours a day seven days a week and
1:45.0	surprisingly that's giving me some new insight and I wonder if you're feeling the same way
1:49.7	so we're starting to observe those compulsions, observe those themes, see how they work.
1:58.0	And in a way, that's kind of a gift in disguise because we're really able to understand how these things are
2:05.0	manifesting and we're able to catch them a lot earlier. So that's kind of what's
2:10.7	going on at my house.
2:12.6	And I'll go into that as I talk about the compulsions
2:15.7	and things that get missed.
