Many kids have what some people call “pure O” or purely obsessional thoughts. But more often than not those obsessional thoughts are quieted by a menu of mental compulsions that go along with it. So what is a parent to do if their child is doing unseen mental compulsions?
I explore “Pure O” and mental compulsions in this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
