Just because it is the holiday season doesn’t mean our child’s anxiety and OCD take a break. The holidays can stir up a variety of issues for our kids depending on their particular anxiety and OCD themes.
Down time can cause more anxious or intrusive thoughts. The whirlwind of parties, overstimulation and no routine can make emotions run high. It can be tricky to deal with contamination, restrictive eating, panic attacks and upsetting thoughts around relatives and friends.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring some common struggles kids with anxiety or OCD have over Christmas and winter break and what you can do to reduce these issues.

As parents we can be hard on ourselves. The parenting journey raising kids with anxiety and OCD can come with many ups and downs. Many of us blame ourselves when our child’s anxiety or OCD doesn’t get better.
But the truth is you can do absolutely everything to help your child with anxiety or OCD and they still don’t improve.
We are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to our child’s anxiety or OCD.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the narrative that we often tell ourselves that says we are a failure when our kids are struggling.

Often it is hard to get our kids into OCD therapy, and when we do, it can be an uphill battle to get them to practice those skills in between sessions.

We’ll explore how you can use this card deck at home and how it can sharpen your child’s self-esteem, motivation and ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) skills!

We all want our kids to have strong sibling relationships, but often anxiety and OCD can get in the way. Siblings might feel targeted by the child with anxiety or OCD. They might be on the receiving end of aggression or they might just feel sidelined by how much attention their sibling requires.
Just like with anxiety and OCD, we have our role to play when it comes to facilitating strong sibling bonds. Learning what our role and what it isn’t, is so important!
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talked to Corinna Jenkins Tucker, PhD, CFLE. She is the Director of the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) at the Crimes against Children Research Center and Professor Emerita, Human Development and Family Studies, at the University of New Hampshire.
Her primary research interests include sibling relationships, parenting, and mental health. She has a particular interest in sibling aggression and abuse experiences across the lifespan. Dr. Tucker has conducted research and published extensively on sibling relationships for over 25 years.
Learn more about Dr. Tucker’s work here at SAARA. Check out her Psychology Today blog on siblings and follow her on Instagram

Are you able to experience happiness while your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD? Do you feel guilty or tell yourself stories about your ability to be “happy” while your child is suffering?
Many of us tell ourselves things like, “we can’t be happy if our child is struggling with anxiety or OCD.” But is that actually true? And more importantly, is that belief even helpful?
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the idea of happiness, especially when the ones we care about the most are struggling.

It can be hard enough to help a child with OCD, but what if they are autistic as well? It can be confusing to figure out where autistic traits end and OCD compulsions begin. It can also be a struggle to navigate two worlds that don’t always intersect.
That is why I was thrilled to invite Jan Stewart to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Jan is a highly regarded mental health and neurodiversity advocate and mom to two, now grown children with multiple diagnoses.
She is the author of Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sat down with Jan to discuss how parents can decipher autistic traits from OCD compulsions, how ERP is adapted for autistic children and how to take care of ourselves and our other relationships while trying to stay afloat.

We may not have full control over our child’s recovery around anxiety or OCD, but we can control how we show up to their struggles. This can be tricky when our mind is bogged down with what-if scenarios.
That is why it is so important to pay attention to the narratives we are spinning around our child’s anxiety or OCD and tap into what emotions are showing up for us, as we show up for them.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the stories that so many of us raising kids with anxiety or OCD tell ourselves, and how to develop a daily practice to reframe the narrative.

The number one struggle I hear from parents is, “My child won’t accept help for their anxiety or OCD.” What are we supposed to do when anxiety or OCD has hijacked the house and everyone who inhabits it?
Dr. Alec Pollard has dedicated his career and research to this very question. He is the co-developer of the Family Well-Being Approach (FWBA) and is the founding director of the Center for OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, and professor emeritus of family and community medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
He also happens to be one of my favorite researchers, as he has a down-to-earth way about explaining and helping families in need. He’s also quite funny.
In Dr. Pollard’s new book, When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment, he offers family members a roadmap on how to get their life back while promoting their loved one’s recovery.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Pollard and exploring some of the key points in his approach outlined in his book. I know every parent will get some important takeaways from our discussion!

Anxiety and OCD can take a TON of resilience. So when we have kids who generally give up easily, this can impact how they handle their mental health struggles. Some kids have this go get’em attitude and get up every time they are knocked down, while other kids give up before they even begin. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast we’ll discuss why some kids give up so easily and what concrete things we can do to help them shift this behavior.

Many of our kids thrive in non-traditional learning environments. And some of our kids are not able to go to an in-person school due to the acuity of their anxiety or OCD.
One of the cons of at-home learning is the isolation it can bring. Isolation can increase anxiety and OCD and make our kids feel disconnected. It is helpful to have a proactive plan on how to connect our kids with others so we reduce the impact of isolation.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss the risk of isolation with our children who are homeschooling or doing online learning and what concrete steps we can take to minimize disconnection.

It is not uncommon for kids with anxiety or OCD to also have issues with picking their skin or pulling their hair. These behaviors are classified as BFRBs, body-focused, repetitive behaviors. Although BFRBs are a common comorbid condition to anxiety and OCD, it is a separate disorder with its own set of therapy approaches. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, we celebrate BFRB week by having one of my favorite people on, Aneela Idnani from Habitaware. Aneela has struggled with trichotillomania her whole life. She took her pain and turned it into purpose; helping other people with BFRBs. She created a bracelet that helps people with BFRBs become more aware of when they are doing those behaviors. She also built a beautiful community filled with free support groups for kids and teens as well as services to support parents.

Often parents who are raising kids with both PDA and OCD get conflicting advice. This can push a parent who is already stressed, over the edge. Are accommodations good or are they bad?
One set of advice talks about leaning into accommodations, while the other set says accommodations are something to eventually stop. The reality is PDA accommodations and OCD accommodations aren’t the same.
OCD accommodations are specifically talking about participating in a child’s OCD compulsions. Those are called accommodations. When we participate in our child’s OCD compulsions we are inadvertently growing their OCD and the OCD behavior will worsen. That is different from the PDA accommodations needed to give them a sense of autonomy while fostering a low-demand environment. That doesn’t mean PDA doesn’t bring another layer of struggle when it comes to addressing OCD symptoms - it does! But the use of the word accommodations have different meanings.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the world of PDA and OCD and try to dispel any misunderstandings that exist when straddling both worlds.

OCD doesn’t live in a bubble; it lives in our home. It lives in our families. It is not an isolated disorder. It involves the whole family system.
That is why family involvement is key to a child’s OCD long term success. Often this is the missing component, even when a child is being treated for OCD.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how OCD involves the family and what parents can do to leverage their support.

Anxiety and OCD can create hopelessness. It can feel like such an overwhelming task to overcome these struggles. Often we focus on the end goal.
Get them to school. Get them to eat. Get them to be fully functioning.
But there are a million smaller goals that get them to that bigger goal. It is easy to focus on the big picture instead of looking at the minute day-to-day goals. But it is in those small steps that progress is really made.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how crucial it is to celebrate the small wins our kids make on their journey to crush anxiety and OCD.

OCD doesn’t just involve our kids, it involves us. OCD reassurance seeking is a sneaky compulsion. It gets us to do OCD’s dirty work. We often don’t even know we are talking to OCD.
It can feel bad to pull back our reassurance, even if we know it is OCD. It can also be tough on our kids. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about a tool I created to help kids reduce their OCD reassurance seeking.

It can be so hard to see our kids tumble and fall. No one wants to see their kids fail. But we rob our kids the ability to learn when we protect them from failure.
This can impact how we show up for their anxiety or OCD. It can impact how much freedom we give them. It can also decipher how much we micromanage what they eat, how much they sleep and how long they are on electronics.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the idea that we have to let our kids fail in order to succeed. We also discuss how we have to give our kids some level of freedom in order to teach them to regulate themselves.

Sometimes we have to do something really scary in order to be our true selves. I started working on a memoir about social anxiety about five years ago. I finally finished the memoir but then six days later my husband passed away.
The memoir collected dust as I tried to piece myself and my family back together. A year and a half after he passed, I revisited the project. I wrote an epilogue detailing my grief journey and how it got even more complicated by my fear of being alone.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why I wrote my social anxiety memoir and reveal some of my biggest fears about it being released.

If we are openly discussing our child’s anxiety or OCD with them, we might assume that we aren’t missing anything. But it is important to note that just because we see the tip of the iceberg, doesn’t mean we see everything.
I am constantly missing, and then discovering, yet another thing that is actually my child’s anxiety or OCD in disguise.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why kids will continue to hide anxiety and OCD struggles and some concrete tips on how to address this.
