AT Parenting Survival | Raising Kids with OCD & Anxiety

When we are raising kids with anxiety or OCD it can take a toll on our own level of happiness. We can be consumed with fear, overwhelm and the what-ifs of tomorrow.But our child’s journey with anxiety or OCD is a marathon not a sprint. If we live in crisis mode all of the time we rob ourselves and our family of the joy life can bring.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to find moments of happiness even during difficult times with your child’s anxiety or OCD (or any difficult time for that matter).****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Social anxiety shows up differently for each person. Social anxiety is about the fear of rejection, criticism or embarrassment, but it goes much deeper than that. The core fear can be different for each person. I am raising three kids with social anxiety and have social anxiety myself. However, our core fears are all different.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore the many faces of social anxiety and how to craft effective social anxiety exposures based on those fears.🌸 Take my course and learn in-depth skills: How to Crush Social Anxiety****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

When kids feel stigma attached to their OCD they are less likely to want to discuss it or receive treatment. One of the first steps we can do to help kids with OCD is to help remove the stigma society has placed on this disorder.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the importance of removing stigma around OCD and concrete ways to do that.Resources:Crushing OCD Course for Kids and TeensChild Mind Institute’s You Got This campaignUnstuck: An OCD Kids Movie****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Raising kids with anxiety or OCD is hard enough. But when you add chronic pain to your daily routine it can push you over the edge. Often we backburner our own issues. We tell ourselves that we don’t have time for our struggles. That we don’t have time to address our needs. We push through and do more damage in the end.But the truth is if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to effectively take care of your child. Helping a child with anxiety or OCD is exhausting and chronic pain will only add to that fatigue.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Dr. Andrea Durand, my go-to expert on all things pain related. She explores our relationship with chronic pain and discusses ways we can address the pain to minimize its impact on our daily lives.Click here to listen.🌸 Click here to learn more about Andrea’s course Taking Control of Your Pain.She is offering 25% off her course to AT Parenting podcast listeners for the next 30 days 🎉.

Shaun Flores had been suffering from OCD for years without knowing it. He hopped from OCD theme to OCD theme, listening to OCD’s lies and searching for certainty with each new worry. It wasn’t until 2022, when he finally met the right therapist, that he learned that all of his fears had one explanation, OCD.Shaun has turned his OCD pain into a passion to advocate. Since his diagnosis he has added a new face to the OCD advocacy scene. A face that was desperately underrepresented. As a black man, he is helping normalize a disorder that doesn’t care about race, ethnicity or gender. In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I had the honor to talk to Shaun about his journey with OCD and the incredible work he is doing to help others.Click here to listen.Follow Shaun on Instagram at @theshaunflores or email him at [email protected] Want some extra support?🌸 FREE Webinar: 5 Things Every Parent Raising a Child with OCD Needs to Knowwww.Natashadaniels.com/ocdwebinar****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

One of the most common anxiety themes is the fear of choking. Kids with this fear often hyperfocus on what they eat and how they eat. At its worst they can avoid all sorts of foods that they feel are “unsafe.” This can limit their diet and cause nutritional issues.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many ways a choking fear can show up, how the fear grows and strategies to help your child move through the fear.Want some extra support?🌸 If you are raising a child with anxiety take my free webinar: 5 Things Every Parent Raising a Child with Anxiety Needs to Know****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

What we do matters. What we think matters. We may not be able to control how our kids tackle their anxiety or OCD, but we can control how we model skills to help them. Anxiety and OCD can hit self-esteem hard. Having self-compassion and self-love can be an uphill battle. How do we talk to ourselves? How much self-compassion do we show ourselves?Resilience is another key factor in our kids' long term success. Resilience doesn’t mean we don’t crumble. It is what we do with the crumbs that counts. How do we show up to our child’s struggles? How do we show up to our own life’s struggles?In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to improve our own self-compassion and resilience to model those skills for our children.Want to watch some free Webinars for parents raising kids with anxiety or OCD?

Dealing with OCD isn’t like dealing with a cold. It isn’t cured and then we move on. It can help to shift our perspective to focus on how to live and, more importantly, thrive with OCD. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to shift our kids from a victim to an empowerment mentality (and us as well)! We also dive into how to create a lifestyle that acknowledges and works on OCD organically within the home environment.To learn about the OCD Workshop series click here.Youtube video on How OCD is Like an Octopus.****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) are not the same. Many parents seeking treatment for OCD are not aware of that and search just for a CBT therapist.ERP is a specific type of CBT that provides evidenced-based treatment for those with OCD.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explain the difference between CBT and ERP as well as how to find a therapist trained in ERP.IOCDF.org/find-helpwww.TreatmyOCD.com****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

OCD wants us to take its threats seriously. It wants us to debate with it, argue, and come up with solutions to circumvent the issues it presents. Afraid of germs - let’s think of ways you can avoid it.Afraid you’ll turn into something you aren’t - let’s remind yourself that you are a good person.Afraid you forgot something - let’s develop ways you can remember.All of these solutions are created based on the validity of what OCD is saying. When we learn how to unhook from the stories OCD wants to sell us, we weaken OCD’s grip.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how these issues can show up and how we can teach our kids and teens to not get caught in OCD’s trap.🌸 3-Days Only:4 Workshops for the Price of Two:🌸Sneaky Ways OCD Accommodations Get Through🌸How to Create a Therapeutic Home Environment for Your Child with OCD🌸Helping Anxious Kids Thrive in School🌸Sneaky Ways OCD Sabotages Success (and How to Avoid it)Click here to take advantage of this discount.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist I talk a great deal about how to help our kids by reframing their anxious thoughts and taking steps to do brave things. But I want to expand your child’s toolbox with other useful ways for them to calm their mind and body. The more diversified our children’s coping mechanisms, the better they will do long term!In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Kristi Fischer and Kelly Winkler to the show.

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:🌸 BooksWhat to Do When Your Brain Gets StuckPractice Being BraveThe ACT Workbook for Teens with OCDStuff That’s Loud (for Teens)The OCD Workbook for TeensEverything is an Emergency (older teens)🌸 Youtube channel🌸 Support GroupsIOCDFAT Parenting Community (support group meetings included in membership)🌸 ClassesCrush OCD for Kids & TeensWaitlist of Crush OCD Course for Kids & Teens❤️ Learn more about the AT Parenting Community membership here.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

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!

It disguises itself with curiosity, constant checking or over apologetic responses. OCD is a family affair and it often gets us as parents to inadvertently grow it on a daily basis.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many ways OCD blindly hooks us in. I talk about what to look for and how to respond instead.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!
