Teddi’s OCD Advice to Parents
Teddi’s OCD Advice to Parents
OCD Advice written by the now college-aged child of our parent trainer and dedicated OCD advocate.
Recognize that this is hard.
OCD is discomfort with uncertainty - try to understand this.
Celebrate the “wins” with true attention.
Think about what you can do … really pay attention to that.
When a child is in crisis - give them space…..let them breathe.
Take things step by step…. slowly. Don’t think about the whole picture.
Talking through it - what’s the worst that could happen??
Never show frustration.
Separate your child from their OCD.
TAKE NOTHING PERSONALLY!
Have compassion - true compassion.
