Summary
Effective communication is one of the most essential aspects of parenting a child with OCD or anxiety. When communication breaks down, our ability to support them directly becomes limited.
The way we communicate, the words we choose, and our ability to read our child’s cues while respecting their pace all play a crucial role in how effective that communication will be.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I’ll explore some important strategies for fostering effective communication and share practical tips to help you overcome any barriers that may be hindering your connection with your child.
