Dawn Huebner, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in Exeter, New Hampshire, specializing in the treatment of children and their parents. She is the author of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is about more than hand washing. It's about thoughts and urges that get stuck in your child's mind, terrifying him, tormenting her. It's about rituals intended to ward off harm. It's about things feeling 'not right' to your child. And it's about questions, endless questions -- questions about safety, questions about certainty, questions that drive you crazy, questions that break your heart. OCD is a neurobiological problem, and there is nothing you or your child did to cause it. While it appears random and bizarre, it's actually quite common and predictable. OCD is related to certain abnormalities in brain chemistry and function. And although it appears rather tenacious, it is in fact a treatable condition. Children with OCD benefit most from a type of therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy teaches children new ways to think about and respond to the thoughts and urges that characterize OCD. Children learn, in effect, to retrain their brains to respond more accurately and efficiently - to become unstuck.

Because of her various issues, my daughter has developed a fear of germs and gluten. It is extreme. (The reality is that gluten can only harm her if she puts it in her mouth or inhales it, like if she were around poofing floor.) For example, envelopes have gluten, therefore she is afraid of envelopes. Our outside doorknob ... Read More Rating - OCD Help This has been a tool for us to talk to our 5 year old about his OCD. Parts of it are over his head and I'm sure we will have to repeat this again but it at least gives us guidelines as lost parents for how to start battling this awful disorder. Rating - When your brain gets stuck This is a great book to help younger kids understand and take control of their OCD. It has been very helpful to several of my younger clients (10 and under). Rating - Even better for younger kids This is a very good book. It does clearly explain to young children what the experience of OCD is and describes in general terms what to do about the problem. However, since I just read The Boy Who Finally Stopped Washing, I see that it only discusses OCD in broad terms. Each person requires treatment tailored to their individual needs. Also, some sensitive kids, as most OCD kids are, might not like thinking that their brain is "stuck" (something is ... Read More see more reviews See all books by author Dawn Huebner
