An assessment isn’t a test you pass or fail — it’s a tool for understanding. 💡
At Grounded Roots, our evaluations look at how your child learns, thinks, feels, and grows so we can uncover strengths and identify supports that make school and home life easier.

Knowledge is empowering — and every child’s profile tells a story worth understanding.

Looking forward to learning more about the overlap of faith and OCD.

Does your child repeat routines, ask for reassurance, or get stuck on “just right” feelings? It might be more than worry — it could be Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

OCD in kids can look like:
🔹 Repeating tasks (like handwashing or checking)
🔹 Needing items arranged a certain way
🔹 Feeling anxious if routines change

These behaviors are driven by anxiety — not by choice. The good news? OCD is treatable, and early support helps children learn tools to manage those intrusive thoughts and rituals. 💙

If you’ve noticed these patterns, we can help you take the next step with compassion and clarity.

Myth: “Kids shouldn’t be anxious — they don’t have anything to worry about.”
Fact: Children experience anxiety too — it just looks different. It may show up as stomachaches, irritability, perfectionism, or refusal to try new things.

Anxiety isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s the brain’s way of signaling stress or uncertainty. With support, kids can learn to understand and manage those feelings safely. 🌱

At Grounded Roots Family Development Center, we help families recognize these signs early and build healthy coping strategies together.

💛 It’s World Kindness Day!

Ask your kids:
