AT Parenting Survival | Raising Kids with OCD & Anxiety – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

Anxiety and OCD can rob our kids of so many things, including their self-esteem and self-worth. It is easy for them to feel hard on themselves when their anxiety or OCD is knocking them down. Often kids are extra hard on themselves during these times.

As parents we are intensely focused on helping our kids navigate anxiety or OCD, but there are some things we can do to boost their self-esteem as well. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore some simple ways you can help your child’s self-esteem and self-worth, while supporting them around anxiety or OCD.

Agoraphobia can prevent our kids from being able to leave the house, be in crowds, go to the movies or travel - just to name a few. It can be a debilitating and life altering disorder and often the signs and symptoms can start in childhood.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about what Agoraphobia is, what signs to look for and what to do about it.

Parenting can be an isolating journey, but as women we often have many resources at our fingertips. We have Mommy and Me classes and endless Facebook groups ready to get our mama back. 

But what about fathers?

The fatherhood journey can feel completely different and comes with its own set of obstacles and struggles. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Jason from Dad’s University about the unique struggles men might find on their parenting journey and how to navigate through them.

You finally found help for your child with anxiety or OCD but they don’t want to work on it. 

Now what? 

That can be beyond frustrating! Especially if it took you a long time to connect with the right resources or help.

But no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is always a next step, even when our child or teen isn’t able or willing to work on anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about some of the reasons why kids don’t want to work on these issues and what parents can do about it.

OCD comes in many different shapes and flavors. One way it shows up is through the concept of “contamination.” Contamination means something different for each person who suffers from OCD, but they all have two things in common:

1. Something/someone cannot be touched and should be avoided
2. Contamination can spread from object to object, person to person (and even place to place)

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how parents can help their kids work through contamination fears.

Having OCD can be a lonely experience. Kids can feel like there is no one else out there who gets their struggles. 

And really, who can blame them? 

The media (and even worse social media) often spend their time talking about OCD like it’s a meme or an adjective.

But feeling alone does more than impact the mood and self-esteem. It can stand in the way of progress and impact our child’s long term success.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why it’s SO important to help kids with OCD not feel alone - and how we can go about doing that!

Here are some resources I discuss during the episode:

🌸 Books

What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck

Practice Being Brave

The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD

Stuff That’s Loud (for Teens)

The OCD Workbook for Teens

Everything is an Emergency (older teens)

🌸 Youtube channel

🌸 Support Groups

IOCDF

AT Parenting Community (support group meetings included in membership)

🌸 Classes

It is hard not to want to control our child’s anxiety or OCD journey. It is hard not to have expectations for how it should turn out. It’s human nature to want to do everything in our power to help our kids.

But sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves and our children is to recognize what areas we do not control. Sometimes we can make the most progress when we learn to let go of expectations and perceived control. 

In this latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I dive into our perceptions of control and explore the concept of acceptance and letting go.

P.S: I’m cooking up an OCD online, on-demand class just for kids and teens to teach them those life long skills to handle those waves! You can learn more by adding your name to the waitlist:
