Summary
OCD is sneaky! It hides in the questions our children ask. It disguises itself with curiosity, constant checking or over apologetic responses.
OCD is a family affair and it often gets us as parents to inadvertently grow it on a daily basis.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many ways OCD blindly hooks us in. I talk about what to look for and how to respond instead.
P.S: I’m cooking up an OCD online, on-demand class just for kids and teens to teach them those life long skills to handle those waves! You can learn more by adding your name to the waitlist:
