Parenting OCD: Down to Earth Advice From One Parent to Another

by Claire Sanders

When your child has OCD your world can turn upside down and inside out. Claire Sanders has been managing her son's severe OCD for more than 8 years and, although there are no quick fixes, she has learnt a few tips along the way. These cover what is involved in getting a diagnosis, what to expect in therapy, how to cope with panic attacks, how it might affect the rest of your family and how you might feel as a parent. She talks with honesty and humour about these and many other aspects of her son's illness providing practical advice and insight from one parent to another. This is a must-read for any parent or carer who has a child with OCD. It is the equivalent of a comforting chat with a friend who has been through it all before and can reassure you that you are not alone.

Interesting read from a mom with a child who suffers from OCD. I learned some things that I was not aware of, which was helpful. Some suggestions that worked for her son would not work for my daughter, such as using humour to downplay their OCD behaviour. Trust your gut.
