Bedtime shouldn’t feel like a battleground—but for many families raising a child with OCD, nighttime is when the OCD compulsions ramp up and take over. In this episode, child therapist and OCD parenting expert Natasha Daniels breaks down the most common nighttime OCD compulsions that trap both kids and parents in exhausting loops.

You’ll learn:

  • What nighttime OCD rituals look like (and why they’re so common)

  • How OCD pulls parents into the loop through reassurance and rituals

  • Why giving in fuels OCD—even when it feels easier in the moment

  • How to set clear, loving boundaries that break the OCD cycle

  • What to do during the day to reduce OCD struggles at night

Whether your child is stuck repeating bedtime routines, seeking endless reassurance, or confessing before sleep—this episode will help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.

Listen in and learn how to take back bedtime—without feeding OCD.
