OCD in Children. A Step-by-Step Program for Overcoming Anxiety, Obsessive Thoughts, and Rituals

When obsessive thoughts and rituals begin to control a child's life, the whole family suffers. Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences John March has developed an 8-step program for overcoming obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which has been completed by thousands of children. For over 25 years, it has been helping to cope with anxiety, obsessive ideas, and repetitive actions.

You will learn:

— what OCD is, what causes it, and how to cope with it;

— what the main deceit of OCD is;

— how to encourage a child when they feel foolish and strange;

— what steps need to be taken to restore calm to the family and control over one’s own thoughts to the child.

Parents will find specific words of support and answers to possible questions from the child, while specialists will find practical tools for therapy.

Preschoolers and primary school children will be able to go through the program with their parents, while older children can do it independently.
