About

Many parents worry about telling their child they have anxiety or OCD. Some worry about potentially labeling their kids. Some worry that it will make their child feel different. Others worry about the stigma the child will face.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival episode, I dive deep into the pros and cons of telling your child that they have anxiety or OCD. I also explore the pros and cons of reading children’s books with various anxiety or OCD themes. Many parents worry that exposing a child to other anxiety or OCD themes, will cause them to “catch” new themes and make their struggles worse.Resources Discussed in Podcast:Unstuck: an OCD Kids Movie www.OCDKidsmovie.comPractice Being Brave: Owning my OCD: https://amzn.to/35WvfnDWhat to Do When I Worry too Much: https://amzn.to/2Jn9LbQWhat to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck: https://amzn.to/3oO9aQNOutsmarting Worry: https://amzn.to/3jNIDzvThe ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD: https://amzn.to/3ejCWYRStuff That’s Loud: https://amzn.to/3231Gj6My Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/c/anxioustoddlers78***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Let me become your $5 mini-coach.
