who knows anything about child OCD.?!


Question: my son is 5 with OCD is there anyone who understands what im going throught?
Answers:
I have OCD. May 2006 will be 2 years.No joke.

People have tried to help me, but it doesn't.help. Maybe your son is dealing with something that makes him really upset and the only way he can keep it off his mind is to be OC about something. Probably not, being he is only 5, but that is how I started. Maybe he'll grow out of it, I'm old enough to not grow out of it, probably. If it is just a phase try being patient with him. Don't underestimate your child. Don't threaten him with the phrase, "If you don't stop talking about/obsessing over _________ I'm going to take you to a therapist!" This will only make your child more upset and feel in the way. If the child has something he enjoys more than anything else (example: being read to), try it, this might keep his mind off whatever it is that makes him so obsessive about whatever it is he is obsessive over. What helped me was: I had a friend who called everyday and we'd talk over the phone for like 2 hours. For a while that helped, until they stopped calling and now.I'm back to my old ways. During the time period they would call, I wouldn't be so bad, I even relinquished some of my OC habits, but they've come back.
Do you mind me asking what he is OC about?
Hope this helped!

P.S. Try, if he gets older and doesn't grow out of it, taking him to a therapist, but don't threaten him with it. Take him calmly.

Other Answers:
you or a therapist needs to help your child learn how to satisfy and express his anxiety in a healthy way, the way OCD works is like when you're impatient and you start foot tapping, OCD is simply a disorder with various anxious expressions
I do. I had it as a child and still deal with it as an adult. If there is a way I can contact you to discuss or e-mail, I would be more than happy to do so. I can definitely shed light on what your son is going through and maybe offer some suggestions.
My daughter is 6 years old she has this rocking motion she does all the time when she is anxious instead of telling her to stop and aknowledging the action i try to ignore it at this point hoping she will stop. I think the more they are aware of it the more they do it. When she was 4 she had her tonsils out. She then stopped doing it for awhile he said that it may have been that she did not feel well is why she did it. But now she does not as much.
