There is nothing more disruptive and upsetting than OCD latching on to a loved one. Contamination isn’t just about germs - it can be about people, people our kids love.

I quickly fell in love with Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory. It is such a simple, and yet powerful approach to living your life. Throughout the book I thought about how the Let Them Theory could be adapted to parents, and in particular, those of us raising kids with anxiety or OCD.I started to implement this approach with my kids in a child friendly way. It made a huge impact on how I showed up for their anxiety and OCD struggles. It also helped me let go of what I cannot control.

OCD can convince our kids that they have control over the uncontrollable. That is at the heart of magical thinking OCD compulsions. Magical thinking is when OCD convinces a person that if they do or don’t do something - they can prevent something from happening. That something could be literally anything related to their theme. They might be preventing themselves from throwing up. They might be saving your life. They might be preventing a health issue. It is different for each person, but the compulsion is the same - do this (or don’t do this) or ELSE.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring how magical thinking shows up in OCD and how you can help your kids overcome it.YouTube videos discussed in episode:When OCD Tells You to Do Something or Something Bad Will HappenOffense and Defense for OCD 🌸 Want to supercharge your child, teen or young adult’s OCD skills?

Not every OCD theme is about a fear, sometimes it is about a feeling. That is the case with Tourettic OCD. Tourettic OCD is not triggered by an intrusive thought, but rather a somatic urge. Compulsions can include sudden, repetitive movements or vocalizations.It can be tricky to figure out what is a tic and what is tourettic OCD. That is why I invited Dr. John Piacentini to the show. Dr. John Piacentini is a Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA School of Medicine and Director of the Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program at the UCLA Semel Institute. In addition, he is Chief of Child Psychology for the Semel Institute Medical Psychology Program and Chair of the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast Dr. Piacentini breaks down the difference between Tourette’s, tics and OCD - and helps clarify what Tourettic OCD is and how it is treated.To learn more about Dr. Piacentini and The Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program at the UCLA Semel Institute click here. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Trying to help a child with OCD or anxiety is not an easy task. One reason for that is because we are not steering the ship. This is not our battle. This is not our struggle. Although trust me, I know we have our own struggles on this journey raising a child with OCD or anxiety.But, we don’t get to override our child’s autonomy to smooth things out. I wish we could.The single hardest part about raising children with OCD or anxiety is we have to follow their pace. We have to follow their level of engagement. If we overstep, over push or over cheerlead, we risk shutting them down.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to know when to step back and how to support your child while their foot is firmly on the brake.🌸 Learn how to be an effective anchor for your child with anxiety or OCD.

We all want our kids with anxiety or OCD to believe in themselves. We want them to try hard things. We want them to push through their fears. But we only have so much control on how motivated they are to do those things to help themselves.We do, however, have control over how we show up to our child’s battle with anxiety or OCD. When we over accommodate, over enable and cocoon our kids from all discomfort and failure, we rob them of the opportunity to develop resilience.It is a balancing act and it looks different for each child.In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to find the sweet spot of empowering our kids to face their anxiety or OCD, while not pushing them over the edge.💪 Want more support?

How we reframe anxious thoughts vs OCD thoughts are vastly different. Understanding the nuances of how we talk to these two disorders differently is crucial for any parent trying to help their child.

Does it really matter if you understand the core fear related to your child’s anxiety or OCD. The short answer - yes. Of course we will treat anxiety with anxiety tools regardless of theme or core fear. And we will treat OCD as OCD regardless of theme or core fear. But understanding the core fear in anxiety or OCD is like the difference between using a compass to get where you are going versus a GPS. Core fears help us identify and pinpoint exactly what fuels all the anxiety and OCD themes; what fuels all the compulsions. What fuels all the discomfort. When we know the core fear we have the upper hand against anxiety or OCD.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I outline why it is helpful to know the core fear of our child’s anxiety or OCD and what steps to take to discover them!🛍️ Check out my new mental health Etsy store with OCD Card Decks to build OCD skills and t-shirts, sweatshirts and bags with messages of hope: www.natashadaniels.com/shop *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Just because it is the holiday season doesn’t mean our child’s anxiety and OCD take a break. The holidays can stir up a variety of issues for our kids depending on their particular anxiety and OCD themes. Down time can cause more anxious or intrusive thoughts. The whirlwind of parties, overstimulation and no routine can make emotions run high. It can be tricky to deal with contamination, restrictive eating, panic attacks and upsetting thoughts around relatives and friends. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring some common struggles kids with anxiety or OCD have over Christmas and winter break and what you can do to reduce these issues. 🛍️ Check out my new mental health Etsy store with OCD Card Decks to build OCD skills and t-shirts, sweatshirts *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

We all want our kids to have strong sibling relationships, but often anxiety and OCD can get in the way. Siblings might feel targeted by the child with anxiety or OCD. They might be on the receiving end of aggression or they might just feel sidelined by how much attention their sibling requires.Just like with anxiety and OCD, we have our role to play when it comes to facilitating strong sibling bonds. Learning what our role and what it isn’t, is so important!In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talked to Corinna Jenkins Tucker, PhD, CFLE. She is the Director of the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) at the Crimes against Children Research Center and Professor Emerita, Human Development and Family Studies, at the University of New Hampshire.

It can be hard enough to help a child with OCD, but what if they are autistic as well? It can be confusing to figure out where autistic traits end and OCD compulsions begin. It can also be a struggle to navigate two worlds that don’t always intersect.That is why I was thrilled to invite Jan Stewart to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Jan is a highly regarded mental health and neurodiversity advocate and mom to two, now grown children with multiple diagnoses. She is the author of Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sat down with Jan to discuss how parents can decipher autistic traits from OCD compulsions, how ERP is adapted for autistic children and how to take care of ourselves and our other relationships while trying to stay afloat.Resources:Check out Jan Stewart’s book Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness.

We may not have full control over our child’s recovery around anxiety or OCD, but we can control how we show up to their struggles. This can be tricky when our mind is bogged down with what-if scenarios. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the narratives we are spinning around our child’s anxiety or OCD and tap into what emotions are showing up for us, as we show up for them.

The number one struggle I hear from parents is, “My child won’t accept help for their anxiety or OCD.” What are we supposed to do when anxiety or OCD has hijacked the house and everyone who inhabits it? Dr. Alec Pollard has dedicated his career and research to this very question. He is the co-developer of the Family Well-Being Approach (FWBA) and is the founding director of the Center for OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, and professor emeritus of family and community medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. He also happens to be one of my favorite researchers, as he has a down-to-earth way about explaining and helping families in need. He’s also quite funny.In Dr. Pollard’s new book, When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment, he offers family members a roadmap on how to get their life back while promoting their loved one’s recovery. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Pollard and exploring some of the key points in his approach outlined in his book.

Anxiety and OCD can take a TON of resilience. So when we have kids who generally give up easily, this can impact how they handle their mental health struggles.

Many of our kids thrive in non-traditional learning environments. And some of our kids are not able to go to an in-person school due to the acuity of their anxiety or OCD.One of the cons of at-home learning is the isolation it can bring. Isolation can increase anxiety and OCD and make our kids feel disconnected. It is helpful to have a proactive plan on how to connect our kids with others so we reduce the impact of isolation.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss the risk of isolation with our children who are homeschooling or doing online learning and what concrete steps we can take to minimize disconnection. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

It is not uncommon for kids with anxiety or OCD to also have issues with picking their skin or pulling their hair. These behaviors are classified as BFRBs, body-focused, repetitive behaviors. Although BFRBs are a common comorbid condition to anxiety and OCD, it is a separate disorder with its own set of therapy approaches. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, we celebrate BFRB week by having one of my favorite people on, Aneela Idnani from Habitaware. Aneela has struggled with trichotillomania her whole life. She took her pain and turned it into purpose; helping other people with BFRBs. She created a bracelet that helps people with BFRBs become more aware of when they are doing those behaviors. She also built a beautiful community filled with free support groups for kids and teens as well as services to support parents.

Often parents who are raising kids with both PDA and OCD get conflicting advice. This can push a parent who is already stressed, over the edge. Are accommodations good or are they bad? One set of advice talks about leaning into accommodations, while the other set says accommodations are something to eventually stop. The reality is PDA accommodations and OCD accommodations aren’t the same. OCD accommodations are specifically talking about participating in a child’s OCD compulsions. Those are called accommodations. When we participate in our child’s OCD compulsions we are inadvertently growing their OCD and the OCD behavior will worsen. That is different from the PDA accommodations needed to give them a sense of autonomy while fostering a low-demand environment. That doesn’t mean PDA doesn’t bring another layer of struggle when it comes to addressing OCD symptoms - it does! But the use of the word accommodations have different meanings. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the world of PDA and OCD and try to dispel any misunderstandings that exist when straddling both worlds.

OCD doesn’t live in a bubble; it lives in our home. It lives in our families. It is not an isolated disorder. It involves the whole family system.That is why family involvement is key to a child’s OCD long term success. Often this is the missing component, even when a child is being treated for OCD.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how OCD involves the family and what parents can do to leverage their support.🌸 Want more in-depth support?

Anxiety and OCD can create hopelessness. It can feel like such an overwhelming task to overcome these struggles. Often we focus on the end goal.Get them to school. Get them to eat. Get them to be fully functioning.But there are a million smaller goals that get them to that bigger goal. It is easy to focus on the big picture instead of looking at the minute day-to-day goals. But it is in those small steps that progress is really made.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how crucial it is to celebrate the small wins our kids make on their journey to crush anxiety and OCD.🌸 Want more in-depth support?

OCD doesn’t just involve our kids, it involves us. OCD reassurance seeking is a sneaky compulsion. It gets us to do OCD’s dirty work. We often don’t even know we are talking to OCD. It can feel bad to pull back our reassurance, even if we know it is OCD. It can also be tough on our kids. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about a tool I created to help kids reduce their OCD reassurance seeking.

It can be so hard to see our kids tumble and fall. No one wants to see their kids fail. But we rob our kids the ability to learn when we protect them from failure. This can impact how we show up for their anxiety or OCD. It can impact how much freedom we give them. It can also decipher how much we micromanage what they eat, how much they sleep and how long they are on electronics. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the idea that we have to let our kids fail in order to succeed. We also discuss how we have to give our kids some level of freedom in order to teach them to regulate themselves. 🌸 Want social anxiety support? Want to get my $127 social anxiety course for FREE?

Sometimes we have to do something really scary in order to be our true selves. I started working on a memoir about social anxiety about five years ago. I finally finished the memoir but then six days later my husband passed away. The memoir collected dust as I tried to piece myself and my family back together. A year and a half after he passed, I revisited the project. I wrote an epilogue detailing my grief journey and how it got even more complicated by my fear of being alone. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why I wrote my social anxiety memoir and reveal some of my biggest fears about it being released.
