How to Help Young Children with OCD
Manage episode 507857895 series 2956657
OCD can show up much earlier than most people realize — and often in ways parents don’t immediately recognize. For younger kids, compulsions might appear before they can even describe intrusive thoughts. You might see rigidity, controlling behaviors, repetitive actions, or big meltdowns over things that don’t seem to make sense.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through how OCD can look in young children and share practical strategies for helping them. From personifying OCD as “Mr. Bossy,” to creating superheroes who fight back, to slowly reducing accommodations and even gamifying the process — I’ll give you tools to make OCD something your child can actually face.
If you’ve ever wondered how to support a younger child with OCD, this episode will give you a roadmap to start.
Also, check out my new children’s picture book to help children with OCD: Chloe and the Bossy Cloud.
