How To Parent A Child With OCD (Without Making It WORSE)

When your child has OCD, it’s natural to want to help — but some of the most common parenting instincts can accidentally make things worse. OCD and anxiety therapist Natasha Daniels knows this firsthand, both as a clinician and as a mom with children suffering with the disorder. In this episode, she shares what OCD looks like in kids, how parents can get stuck in the cycle of accommodation, and what it really takes to support a child WITHOUT feeding their compulsions.


At NOCD, we specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard treatment for OCD. If you want to explore your treatment options for yourself or your child, book a free 15-minute session with us at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
