| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the |
| 0:08.2 | Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD. |
| 0:12.1 | 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. |
| 0:28.0 | Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Today I'm going to be tackling a topic that comes up all the time with somebody who I am so honored to have on the show with Dr. |
| 0:37.4 | Ellie Leibowitz from the Yale Child Study Center who developed the space program and the space program is a fantastic framework to |
| 0:46.3 | approach kids with anxiety or OCD or and or OCD because it really is very parent focused. And if you are raising a child with |
| 0:56.1 | anxiety, you're O. C. D. Like I am, you know, to the power of three. Or you're a therapist. You understand that sometimes you have a child who is unable or unwilling |

| 1:43.2 | If you have that, that's fantastic, |
| 1:46.0 | because it can only help, it can't hurt, |
| 1:48.7 | but it's not dependent on that. |
| 1:50.9 | And we all do things to accommodate our child's anxiety or OCD and we all respond in certain ways that can grow or minimize that behavior. |
| 1:59.0 | And we do clarify as I talk to him that it's not about parents causing these behaviors because most of us are not doing that. |
