Kids and teens with OCD don't want to behave the way they sometimes do when they're distressed. Tantruming well past the age when it is developmentally appropriate, displaying great rigidity, and insisting that nonsensical rules be followed by others are all examples of common behaviors of young people diagnosed with OCD.

When overwhelmed, frustrated, or exhausted by OCD symptoms and related behaviors, it helps to slow down and remind ourselves that the problem is an underdeveloped brain flooded with and overwhelmed by distress, not a character flaw or active choice. When we depersonalize the child or adolescent from their OCD symptoms and related behaviors, we are less reactive and better able to respond supportively in the midst of the difficulty OCD creates.

One of the most powerful things we can do when a child we love is in distress is to model managing our own distress in the moment. We can ride the emotional wave with that child by modeling acceptance of their emotions and of our own ❤

When parents follow clinical suggestions made by those offering evidence-treatment of OCD and related disorders, they tend to get their lives back more quickly from the grip of OCD and/or anxiety.

It always surprises me when I hear parents of young OCD clients say their previous child's or teen's therapist(s) did not involve them in treatment and even that they had no idea what was going on during sessions. This makes no sense to me when treating OCD, since there tends to be family involvement in symptoms and the involvement usually has an impact on the entire family system.

Yes, we should leave it up to tweens and teens, who are individuating from parents and caregivers to meet alone if they prefer, and there are certain dynamics or issues that may lead to less collaboration with individual parents or caregivers. That being said, even if parents, caregivers, and other family members are not included in sessions, they can still be an. active part of the treatment process of pediatric OCD.

Hands on shared activities that are tactile in nature offer so many benefits to families navigating OCD and/or anxiety disorders! Aside from the connection. lightness, and sense of play that arise from these shared activities, the benefits include learning to focus on process over outcome, confidence, patience, self-efficacy, joy, improved concentration, and shared responsibility ❤❤❤ Now go get messy together!!

Discipline is love ❤ Discipline can be kind and nurturing while also firm and steady. Discipline is teaching and then supporting the repetitive practice of skills toward mastery.

It is natural to respond to a child's urgency when they're distressed by matching it, even if they're safe. Slowing down and meeting their urgency with calm steadiness shows them that we know that they can handle their distress.

Bedtime disruption is such a common experience among families managing pediatric OCD. You are not alone! Slow down, treat yourself with kindness, and do your best to separate your child from their OCD symptoms. Working with a trained ERP therapist can help your family learn to better manage OCD showing up at bedtime.

For people with contamination OCD, the wet paint effect may lead them to compulsively monitor, wash, sanitize, and/or avoid, in order to not feel disgusted or fearful. The problem is, we cannot avoid feeling disgusted and fearful, and trying to get rid of those feelings by engaging in compulsions only serves to trap us in the OCD cycle and paradoxically, less able to tolerate the very feelings we are trying not to feel.
