AT Parenting Survival Podcast: Parenting | Child Anxiety | Child OCD | Kids & Family

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD should come with a warning label, “Warning: May be hazardous to your health.” Being a rock to a child that is often flailing in the sea of chaos, can be draining to even the best of us. It can wear you down, destroy your sleep and impact your mood stability.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are ways that we can maintain our health and mental stability, while still helping a less than stable child.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the quicksand many of us find ourselves in and some simple ways you can claw yourself out of it.

Parents often grapple with what may have caused their child to become so deathly afraid of throwing up. They come up with theories. Maybe it was the time she saw her cousin throw up? Or maybe it was the time she got sick in the car? Or maybe it was the time she got food poisoning?

But in reality, the fear of throwing up (also known as Emetophobia) just happens.

Kids who are genetically prone to anxiety or OCD are at a higher risk of developing Emetophobia. Yes, it can be triggered by an external event, but the genetic seeds are usually just waiting to sprout. That event often only triggers what was already waiting in the wings.

Just think about how many times people have seen others throw up or who have had bad experiences throwing up themselves. Most of those people don’t develop a severe fear of throw up. 

Emetophobia is just one of many ways anxiety and OCD can manifest.

So how do you help your child with Emetophobia? Often it is the opposite of what you would think.

I invited Chrissie Hodges to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss her life long battle with Emetophobia. Chrissie has been a powerful advocate for those suffering with OCD. She is a mental health advocate and speaker and provides OCD peer support and consultation.

She was awarded the 2017 International OCD Foundation’s Advocacy Hero Award for all of her work. She is the author of Pure O: The Invisible Side of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is the Executive Director of OCD Game Changers, an international non-profit group dedicated to helping people with OCD, their families and providers.

You can learn more about Chrissie, her work and OCD Game Changers on her website http://www.chrissiehodges.com And on OCD Game Changers website http://www.ocdgamechangers.com.

It is hard to watch our anxious kids suffer. It is hard to stomach their pain. It is very tempting to swoop in and protect them. To soften their fall. To protect them from feeling discomfort. But that is robbing them of the opportunity to build their skills. I find that the best way to help anxious kids is to teach them how to help themselves.

But easy to say, right? But how does one do that?

In this week’s podcast episode I outline some of the ways parents can start to empower their kids to help themselves.

Autism can be a confusing disorder because it often comes with so many other comorbid conditions. Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can show signs of anxiety, OCD and ADHD. Initially it can be hard for parents and even professionals to get an accurate diagnosis.

In this month’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast segment Member Spotlight, I talk to Lynn about her struggles trying to understand her daughter’s behavior. She talks about how her daughter was given an anxiety diagnosis early on, but how she felt like something was missing.

Most kids with OCD go into adulthood without a diagnosis. This means years of feeling different. Years of feeling ashamed. And years of little to no support. If parents and therapists can learn how to spot OCD symptoms in teens, we could help them save years of unnecessary pain and suffering.

OCD requires a very specific therapeutic approach called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). If a teen’s OCD symptoms are missed, they are also missing the help they so desperately need and deserve.

Sadly teens with OCD who go undiagnosed have a higher likelihood of suffering from depression and ongoing symptoms.

So what are the signs of OCD in teens? 

It’s not always an easy thing to detect. Teens with OCD have had years to develop compulsions. Many of them have gotten very good at the art of hiding these behaviors.

Let’s start with what OCD is and what it isn’t.

OCD is not about being a “neat freak.” Many extremely messy teens are silently suffering from OCD. OCD is not about being obsessed with organizing. Many disorganized teens can still have OCD.

OCD is about having an intrusive thought, feeling, image or song stuck in one’s head and the need to do or avoid something to get some brief relief. The problem is, the more you do or avoid, the bigger the OCD grows.

OCD isn’t just about germs. In fact, many people with OCD don’t worry about germs. There are many different “sub-types” or themes around OCD.

The common denominator though is this: They all have an intrusive thought, feeling, image or song in their head and they all do compulsions to get some relief. 

So how can you tell if your teen has OCD?

When in doubt, go see an OCD therapist to get a proper assessment. You can visit the International OCD Foundation’s therapist directory (www.iocdf.org/find-help) to see if there is anyone in your area. It is always good to be proactive and get professional help. This podcast episode is just to help jump start you in thinking about OCD in a different way so you don’t miss it.

OCD can wreak havoc in any family. But one sub-type of OCD that can be particularly painful is emotional contamination OCD. Emotional contamination issues can hurt family relationships and confuse parents.

Sadly most people, even mental health professionals, understand very little about how OCD can manifest. OCD isn’t just about germs and constant cleaning. OCD has many themes and sub-types. It is so important for families raising kids with OCD to educate themselves on the various ways OCD can show up. The best defense against OCD is to recognize it’s many disguises.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I discuss what emotional contamination OCD is and how it shows up in children and teens.

We all do things for our kids. But there comes a time when we do too much. We inadvertently send a message that they are not capable of doing things for themselves. Ironically this directly impacts their ability to independently fight their anxiety or OCD.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to move our kids from dependency to resiliency one small step at a time.

If your child is anxious, they are more likely to be a picky eater as well. This makes sense if you really

think about it. Anxiety loves to scare our kids. It’s too dark. It’s too dangerous. Anxiety likes to whisper

things about food too. It’s too chewy. It’s too smelly. What if’s like to have their turn too. What if I

choke? What if it tastes really bad?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Alisha Grogan, an Occupational Therapist

and creator of the site, Your Kid’s Table to offer us three simple ways to help our kids with picky eating.

Her ideas are simple to carry out, yet highly effective.

Clinical Separation Anxiety isn’t a toddler problem. In fact, symptoms often start to show up when kids are in elementary or middle school.

Separation Anxiety Disorder isn’t about having a toddler follow you around. It is about having a child who experiences sheer panic when they are not by your side. It is about having a child who needs to know your whereabouts every second of every day.

In this month’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast Member Spotlight segment, I interviewed Shannon, an AT Parenting Community Member and a mom to three kids. She graciously agreed to share with us her journey helping her kids with separation anxiety.

OCD loves to hide. It loves to go undetected. We often think that compulsions are obvious behaviors, like over washing or over straightening. Things that we can see. Things we can measure.

But compulsions are often so much more complicated than that. They can be subtle. They can hide in plain sight.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I reveal the three most commonly missed compulsions in childhood OCD. If your child has OCD, it is highly likely that they are doing at least one of these.

As a parent to children with anxiety or OCD, our “normal” wasn’t that “normal” anyway. But now this new normal is taking us to new heights of abnormal.

In this week’s podcast episode, I tackle the most common struggles parents are having as they continue to raise kids with anxiety and OCD during this pandemic.

I tackle questions like:

How am I supposed to get my child to do their work?

How can I help my child with their anxious thoughts? The downtime is killing them.

Should I be working on my child’s anxiety or OCD right now?

How do I do exposures around separation anxiety when we aren’t going anywhere?

How can I help my child with social anxiety when they don’t have to see anyone?

How can I help my child with school anxiety when they don’t have to go to school?

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Raising a child during a pandemic is a BIG challenge. But when you add anxiety and OCD to the mix, it can be a tall order to handle.

Every month I have a segment on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast called Member Spotlight. This is where I get to spotlight an AT Parenting Community member’s journey through raising a child with anxiety or OCD.

This month I talked to Gina. Gina talks about her ongoing journey to help her daughter with anxiety and OCD. She discusses how the pandemic has impacted her daughter and what they are doing as a family to get through it.

When you are a parent raising kids with anxiety or OCD you can encounter some awkward situations. Like what do you do when a close friend says ignorant things about your child’s anxiety or OCD. Or how do you handle sleepovers when you know your child might not make it through the night?

These are just a few of the many questions we dive into on the latest episode of The AT Parenting Survival Podcast. In this episode I invited Evie & Sarah from the podcast Modern Manners for Moms & Dads to help us explore the best way to handle these awkward situations.

We are living in an ever-changing world. Our kids are living in an ever-changing world. This might be a scary notion to many, especially considering what is going on in our world right now.

But what if we had the capability of improving our child’s resilience? What if we could teach our kids to systematically move towards their fears instead of away from them. What if we could teach our kids how to build up their ability to be adaptable, flexible and thrive under challenging conditions.

In the latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Madeline Levine on to discuss just that. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Teach Your Child Well and The Price of Privilege. In her new book, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World, she talks about the necessity for us to shift gears in how we approach parenting.

We discussed what skills our children will need to be successful and how we, as parents, can foster those skills.

Our kids are home indefinitely. Classes are cancelled. Parties, sporting events and extracurriculars - all gone for now. Many of our pantries look like we are waiting for a hurricane to hit.

So how are we supposed to help our kids not panic?

How are we supposed to help our kids develop a new routine and not go stir crazy?

How are we supposed to keep our anxiety in check so it doesn’t rub off on our children?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore all these struggles and try to help shine a light in what can feel at times like a deep hole of darkness.

Our kids worry about death. They worry about disease. They worry about germs. And even if they don’t worry about those things now, who’s to say they won’t start? So how are we supposed to explain the Coronavirus to kids with anxiety or OCD?

That can be tricky. But if your child is school-aged and doesn’t live in a bubble, they’re going to hear lots of talk about it. In fact, it seems like that is the main topic of conversation around the lunch table and at recess.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about how to explain the Coronavirus to kids with anxiety or OCD.

Also, in this week’s Kids Youtube video I am offering you some help with this difficult topic. I talk to kids and teens directly about what the Coronavirus is and how to not let panic set in.

In this monthly series on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I interview parents from the AT Parenting Community as part of our member spotlight. In this month’s episode, I talk to Tiffany as she shares with us her trials and tribulations of raising a child with OCD. She discusses how she learned her son’s tics were really OCD compulsions and the struggle she had finding a professional skilled in treating OCD.

Many of us fantasized what parenthood would look like way before we had children. Our ideas of parenthood might have been solidified in early childhood, as we tucked our baby doll into her toy crib. Or it may have been dreamt about the moment we knew we were about to become a parent.

But for some of us, the dream and reality didn’t match. Our children had issues. Our children had fears. Our children had struggles.

Janelle Molony’s idea of motherhood wasn’t what she had imagined. After entering the world of foster care to adopt her child, she was thrown into a whirlwind of issues and struggles she wasn’t anticipating.

In her memoir, Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care, she recounts her struggles and triumphs and how ultimately, she was able to move out of the darkness and into the light.

I had the pleasure of talking with Janelle on this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast. To learn more about Janelle’s work go to her website, www.adoptiontolife.com or check out her book Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care here: https://amzn.to/2PBSZX1

You make the appointments. You drive your child each week. You hand over your credit card. But how do you really know if your child’s therapy is working. What should you look for? What are some red flags? Therapy can be time consuming and expensive, so it is important you know you are on the right track sooner rather than later!

In this AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I share my insight as both a mom and a therapist on what are the signs you are moving in the right direction and the red flags that might indicate you are going down the wrong path.

When I began my journey parenting kids with anxiety or OCD, it was a lonely experience – and I am an anxiety and OCD child therapist!

I felt my judgement was questioned.

I felt the diagnoses were questioned.

I felt like my parenting was questioned.

I can only imagine how others without my expertise might feel.

I knew enough to trust my gut.

I knew enough to stand up and defend my children’s diagnoses.

I knew enough to understand that others weren’t going to get my kids or my parenting.

What about the sea of parents who don’t know enough? Who question their judgement? Who second guess the diagnosis? Who join the others and berate their own parenting?

This podcast episode is for you. I hear you. I see you. I understand you.

You are not alone.

Parenting a child with OCD can be overwhelming and lonely. The first Tuesday of every month, I am highlighting a member of the AT Parenting Community. We can learn from the real stories of others living a life, similar to ours.

In these stories we can see our own.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk to Molly, a mother of a tween who has had OCD for several years. Molly shares their struggles and wins. She talks about how her daughter’s struggles led their family to write Practice Being Brave, Owning My OCD. This is one of my favorite books on OCD and I recommend it to everyone I see in my practice. You can check it out here:

Most of us want kind kids. Who doesn’t? But there is an art to fostering and raising truly authentically kind people. It is now more important than ever to raise kind kids. Kids who won’t be afraid to stand up for what is right. Kids who are empathetic and respectful to those around them.

I invited Nicole Black, the creator of the site Coffee and Carpool, to share with us the common pitfalls many of us fall into when trying to raise kind kids. She also offers some great approaches to solidify kindness.

Nicole Black is a prior elementary school teacher and mom to three kids. She shares parenting tips and tricks for intentionally raising kind kids, creating a stronger family connection, and bully prevention. You can check out her work at CoffeeandCarpool.com, on facebook at www.facebook.com/coffeeandcarpool and in her private Facebook group, The Raising Kind Kids Movement at https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingkindkidsmovement/

Often one of the initial struggles parents face when their child has been diagnosed with anxiety or OCD is what to tell their child. Do they even tell them at all? If they do, is it going to help or hurt the situation?

I do have some strong opinions about this topic. I go into what I think and why I view it this way in my latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

If you are on the fence about how to talk to your child about their anxiety or OCD, this podcast episode is for you!

Health and anxiety have an intimate relationship. They love to hang out together. They love to work together. Anxiety can make you feel sick. Sickness can make you feel anxious. It can be a vicious duo that can wreak havoc in your child’s life.

So how are you supposed to help kids who worry about their heath or whose anxiety makes them constantly feel slick? I brought Dr. Josh Spitalnick from Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta to help shed some light on how parents can help kids who worry about their health. He offers some helpful insight and take away approaches that often seem counterintuitive but are crucial in helping our kids.

To learn more about Dr. Josh Spitalnick's practice go to www.Anxietyspecialistsofatlanta.com

Living with anxious kids requires a different kind of parenting. Sometimes it can feel exhausting. Sometimes it can feel frustrating. And sometimes it can feel inspiring and hopeful. It can be quite the roller-coaster ride.

In The AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am doing a monthly series highlighting real life stories from members of the AT Parenting Community. This month I want to introduce you to Katherine. Katherine is raising two young children with anxiety. She talks about her struggles and her effort to create a home that celebrates even the smallest of wins.

I always find her inspiring, uplifting and real. She is always full of creative ideas and she graciously shares some of them with us during this interview.

The AT Parenting Community opens it's doors only a few times a year! One of those times is coming up next month. To get on the waitlist and not miss the opportunity to join us, click here.

Anxiety and OCD can take its toll. It can be exhausting, overwhelming and traumatizing for the whole family. So, when your child starts to make some big improvements, it’s normal to be worried about how long it will last. It’s normal to doubt the progress. You might ask yourself, “Is this for real? Is this the new normal?”

Many of us live waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am TOTALLY guilty of this. Luckily, I have a husband who auto-corrects my anxious mind. I also work everyday to re-frame my catastrophic thinking.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am talking about how to soak up your child’s success without living in the future of What if’s.

If you really want to learn about OCD, one of the best ways to do it is by listening to the OCD Stories. The OCD Stories is a podcast, created and hosted by Stuart Ralph. He has interviewed hundreds of people with OCD and has brought a face and a narrative to what it is like to have a full life with OCD. He has also had conversations with some of the most inspiring treatment providers and researchers to get their view on best practices and innovations in OCD treatment.

I thoroughly enjoy Stuart Ralph’s podcast and it was fun to turn the mic on him and ask him about his stories.

You are not alone. That is the main message from my new segment on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast called, Member Spotlight Segment.

This month I invited AT Parenting Community member, Sophie onto the show. She shares the struggles of trying to help her daughter in a country that has limited resources for children with OCD. She discusses early misdiagnoses, her frustration with the system and the evolution of a common co-morbid condition called Dermatillomania (or Skin Picking Disorder).

She talks about the importance of trusting your parental gut. She shares with us her creative approaches to helping her daughter with skin picking and the success they have had with these approaches.

I love the holidays. I mean LOVE them! But my three anxious kids can hit some pretty big bumps during the holiday season. In fact, most kids who have anxiety or OCD hit a few bumps during this time of year.

There is the chaos. The crowds. And then there are the new foods, constant parties, scratchy clothing, lots of socializing, busy schedule and high hopes for what they’ll get.

All that leaves some pretty cranky kids by early January.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I was asked to talk about tips to help kids with anxiety or OCD survive the holidays. I hope it helps give you some ideas!

We often think there is nothing we can do if our child doesn’t work on their anxiety or OCD. I often say, we are in the passenger seat and they are in the driver’s seat. But there is one thing, one HUGE thing we can do.

We can work on how our expectations of our child’s success or failure impact the outcome. We can also work on our stress. Because our stress doesn’t live in a bubble, it’s contagious and likes to spread throughout our family.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk all about how to take the reigns and help your child by making some simple steps to help yourself.

Also, just for this week you can catch my 3-part video series called Self-Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD. Click here to join and you’ll get each video delivered to your in-box. I am also doing daily Facebook live classes on the videos in my private Facebook group. Join the Facebook group here.

We want to give our kids everything that we never had, but what happens when we are able to do that? How do we foster appreciation and gratitude? How do we help our children develop appreciation for what they have, when they don’t know what it’s like to not have it?

It is a dilemma.

On this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am talking about philosophical and concrete ways to develop and maintain gratitude in your kids and teens.

Does “self-care” equal “self-ish” to you? Often there is a negative connotation with the idea of focusing on yourself, especially when you have a child who is in crisis. Sadly, that is when self care is the most needed.

When we are depleted, anxious or overwhelmed we are in no condition to help our kids. Believe it or not, the very first step in helping our kids with anxiety or OCD is to help ourselves.

So how do you do that? Where do you start?

I invited Dr. Orlena Kerek to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to talk to us all about self care!

I know there are a bazillion awareness weeks and months. Every cause, issue or disease has a color or a month. But I wanted to talk to you about why OCD Awareness Week is so important and how you can take part with even the smallest of gestures.

OCD is one of the most misunderstood disorders. Which is sad considering it can be one of the most debilitating conditions a person can experience.

Part of the reason OCD is so debilitating is due to the lack of understanding OCD.

Kids are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.

Stereotypes perpetuate shame and guilt.

People remain quiet out of fear of embarrassment and labeling.

So what could help with this?

Knowledge.

Spread the knowledge in any way you can. You can check out all the inspiring things the International OCD Foundation is doing this week to bring OCD awareness out from the shadows by clicking here.

Help your child.

Use this week to celebrate your child. Show them videos and pictures people are posting using the hashtag #FACEYOURFEAR and #OCDWEEK to show them how other people are being brave in support of them.

Have a movie night where you make popcorn and watch the documentary Unstuck: an OCD Kids Movie.

Educate yourself and others by taking my free online mini-course, Misunderstanding About Childhood OCD. Understand Your Child’s OCD. Learn the Facts. Enroll and watch it here.

One of the biggest struggles parents have is motivating their child to work on OCD. Who can blame them? Working on OCD can be extremely difficult and overwhelming. But, there is a tool in the toolbox that many parents haven’t explored – that’s ACT.

In this week’s episode on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona (Dr. Z) on to talk to us about how we can use ACT to help kids with OCD.

She offers fun, creative ways to incorporate ACT principles into our exposures.

Dr. Z is the author of the new book, The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD. She is also the author of Mind and Emotion. She is also the author of several other books including: Mind and Emotions: A Universal Treatment for Emotional Disorders, Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster: Act for the Emotionally Sensitive and Parenting a Troubled Teen.

We many think my sweet, anxious child will never do drugs. In fact, how could she? She’s afraid of her own shadow! I am right there with you. But our young, anxious kids often turn into depressed, overwhelmed teens. The last thing we want is for them to self medicate. That’s why talking about drugs when they are young is so important.

There comes a time when our kids think we “don’t get it.” Our kids lean on their peers for support. They think only other 16-year-olds get their pain (as scary as that might sound).

We don’t want to wait until our window of opportunity is gone! That is why I am having some hard conversations with my anxious seven and nine-year-old.

Their ears are open. They have lots of questions. I am pouring information that they are filing away for a later stage of life. Kids are wide open to talk about drugs at this age, but many of us worry about doing it.

This week I invited the hysterical Tiffany Jenkins from Juggling the Jenkins, to the AT Parenting Podcast.

She came on my radar after many parents in my audience kept sharing her hysterical videos on Facebook and Youtube. As I dived deeper into her work, I discovered a more serious side to Tiffany. She is a recovering drug addict. She has used her fame and platform to educate others on the dangers of drugs. In her memoir, High Achiever to shares the inner workings of a person struggling to beat an addiction and all the turmoil it brings with it.

In the podcast she shares her raw and real truth and with it gives parents a chance to make a difference in their children’s lives.

Check out Tiffany’s Youtube channel, her Facebook page, her podcast, Take it or Leave it and her book, High Achiever. I couldn’t stop listening and binge listened to it in a few days (it’s on audible).

It seems like more and more these days we are having to cope with some horrific things. Mass shootings, school shootings, bombings, hate crimes, environmental disasters and devastating weather are things that we and our children have to contend with all too often. How do we talk to kids when something bad happened?

It is tricky. Many of us just avoid it altogether. But unfortunately our kids do not live in a bubble.

I invited Dawn Huebner to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to dive deeper into this topic. She is one of my absolute favorite authors! She is the author behind What to Do When You Worry too Much, Outsmarting Worry and What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck…just to name a few!

She has just released her new book called, Something Bad Happened. In her new book, she helps kids process local and global tragedies that are happening all around us. She gives a beautiful perspective and an uplifting view on a somber topic.

On the podcast, Dawn offers some great advice for parents and gives her perspective on how to help our kids in these changing times.

Dealing with extreme picky eating can be a lonely journey. Barely anyone gets it. People will tell you all sorts of things. Some to lift you up and some to tear you down, but neither wind up being helpful. 

He won’t starve to death You should force him to eat (as if it was just that easy!) If he was my child… (that’s never a good sentence) Aren’t all kids kind of picky? You let her eat just that?! Ugh. I could go on and on. But it brings back too many bad memories. 

Kids have extreme picky eating for a variety of reasons. They can have sensory issues, fears of choking, mechanical and structural issues, intrusive thoughts around food… the list can go on and on. 

But often, we all have one common goal between us. We want our kids to eat. We want our kids to be healthy. This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I have invited my friend and go-to picky eating expert, Alisha Grogan, Pediatric OT, to talk to us about the difference between typical picky eating and extreme picky eating. 

She also has a free workshop series out this week that runs from 9/17/19 to 9/24/19 called The 2-Step Process for Moving Your Child from Picky Eater to Healthy Child. Click here to enroll now before it goes away. She is awesome: www.bit.ly/pickyeatingworkshop19 She offered some really good insight into picky eating in this episode!

Hands down the number one fear I deal with as a child therapist is the fear of bad guys. It isn’t surprising. I remember being a child myself, sitting in my bed, blanket up to my neck, wondering not if, but when would I be attacked. 

The fear is often dealt with platitudes like: 

I’m right here Who is going to hurt you

Nothing has ever happened to you

Why do you worry so much 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why those platitudes aren’t helpful and what to do and say instead.

If the brain can imagine it, nightmares can create it. That can be hard for a child whose brain is constantly coming up with the worst-case scenarios for every situation. And when a child with nightmares, especially an anxious child, has them often – they can start to fear sleep altogether. 

So how do you help your child with nightmares?

Well, we can’t control whether they have them or not, but we can stack the deck in their favor. We can also teach them what to do afterwards, so they can get themselves back to sleep more easily. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I go into concrete tools you can use to ease your child into a relaxing sleep. I also go into how to teach kids to calm themselves and reset their brain, after a bad dream.

You are done. You can’t take it anymore. When will things get better? How long is this going to last? Will things ever change?

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can be beyond exhausting. 

You are not alone. Many of us have been there. We know what it is like to want to hit the escape button. We know what it is like to go to bed ridden with your own feelings of anxiety and hopelessness. All the What If’s and catastrophic thinking are hard to shut off. 

There is hope. 

When all the light is gone and all you see is darkness, it can be hard to feel hopeful.

This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am shining a light into your darkness, to let you know… It will be okay.

We all do many things without a conscious thought. Our heart beats. Our food is digested. Our breath goes in and then goes out. Our eyes lids go up and then they go down. Our bladder constantly fills. But what happens when your attention constantly goes to these automatic behaviors?

Welcome to the torturous world of Sensorimotor OCD. OCD isn’t often understood by most, but Sensorimotor OCD is even less understood. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am helping parents navigate the confusing world of Sensorimotor OCD. We talk about what it is and what to do about it.

 “We don’t see it, he’s great for us.” “Nope, we don’t have any issues with her.” “Anxiety? Are you sure?” “OCD? I never see him wash his hands.” (eye roll to that one) “He is a perfect angel when he is with me.” 

Ugh.

These types of comments can make you doubt all that you know and see. 

Is it me? Am I causing her anxiety? Am I causing this behavior? Do I make his OCD worse? 

You are not alone. Parents everywhere are having these thoughts. They toss and turn before they go to sleep. They have pangs of doubt, guilt and anger when their child turns into a puddle for them and holds it together for everyone else. 

So what is going on? Well let’s put the parental guilt and shame down for a minute and look at some alternative perspectives. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk about why many of our kids with anxiety or OCD have the hardest time when they are us. And why it often has nothing to do with the parenting.

Do you suffer from some parental anxiety? Have you gotten more anxious as you’ve gotten older? Do you attribute it to the chaos and stress you experience raising kids with anxiety or OCD? Well, you might be missing one key culprit…hormones!

As women we start to have hormonal changes as early as our mid-thirties. And with those changes can come, fatigue, weight gain, irritability and….you guessed it, anxiety. This topic is not in my wheelhouse, so I invited Hilary Rank, a Health and Wellness Coach and the creator of the Balance Effect Method, to break it down for us. She talks about how these hormonal shifts work and what we can do to reduce the symptoms that come with it.

Hilary Rank is a Health & Wellness Coach for women over 40 and creator of the Balanced Effect Method. She helps women get out of the “Frustrated and Frumpy Over 40 Trap” which leaves them feeling confused about what diet or program to follow, down on themselves, starving and hopeless to Fit & Fabulous so they will start looking, thinking and feeling happy, healthy and sexy.

The kids are huddled in the corner of the room. It is dark. It is quiet. They are told not to talk. They are told to hide behind objects and lock the classroom door. Some kids are shaking. Some kids have wide eyes. This is not an emergency situation. These are lockdown drills. 

This can be very unnerving for any child, but for anxious children this has the potential to cause ongoing fear and panic. So what should parents do? Many of us avoid the topic unless our kids bring it up. But with at least 32 states requiring monthly lockdown drills, many of our kids are exposed to these drills over 10 times a school year. 

These are important drills (sadly), but how do we minimize the ongoing trauma these drills can evoke? I brought in just the person to answer these questions.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk to Nancy Kislin, a psychotherapist and author of Lock Down: Talking to Your Kids About School Violence. She brought so much insight to this topic and offered some solid, concrete steps anyone can take to help their children. 

To learn more about Nancy's work go to Lockdownbook.com

We all see anxiety differently. We bring our own baggage, or own history and our own issues along for the ride. Often moms and dads see anxiety differently. Sometimes it can be the source of disagreements and hurt feelings. And sometimes it can open our eyes to a new way of looking at things. 

This week I invited Jason from Dad University to have a chat on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast and talk to me about anxiety from a father’s perspective. We talked about his own struggles with anxiety growing up and how that impacted his own parenting.

Check out Dad University at www.daduniversity.com

Bumpy socks, lumpy food, loud noises, large crowds, startling automatic toilet flushers…

these are just a few things that can completely overwhelm some of our anxious kids. But don’t make the mistake of putting them in the same category with all your child’s other anxiety issues. Sensory related anxiety is different. And… it should be treated differently as well.

Anxious kids tend to have more sensory issues. That’s really not surprising. The two issues tend to hang out together like long lost cousins.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode I talk about how even though anxiety and sensory issue are two peas in a pod – we shouldn’t make the mistake of treating them the same. *

You are learning how to be a parent from a very young age, even from toddlerhood. Seriously! Everything you see, every interaction you have, will impact how you parent your own children. This can be inspiring or daunting depending on what type of childhood you had. But regardless of whether it was good, bad or in between you get to decide how your childhood influences your parenting.

This is especially true when you parent an anxious child. What triggers your own issues, your own memories? The first step is awareness. Awareness of what is driving your parenting and awareness what is stirring underneath. The more you understand, the more you can parent with purpose.

When we ask our kids to face their fears, it can be like asking them to jump off a cliff. Swim with sharks. Jump out of an airplane. All of which I know I would never want to do. That is why offering good incentives is key when trying to get kids to work on anxiety or OCD. 

I’ve been asked often, what are good incentives? How do you use incentives? And will they just do it for the carrot in front of them! 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, we are talking all about how to use prizes, rewards, incentives and motivators.

The bickering, the fighting, the taunting and teasing. It is enough to drive a parent to the brink of insanity. Seriously!

So how are you supposed to handle sibling fighting? Is there some magic fairy dust to make it all go away? Well, no – but there are things you can definitely do to minimize the level of sibling squabbles in your house. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I am sharing all my tips, tricks and survival techniques to get siblings to stop fighting.

They dig their heels in. They refuse to go. They refuse to eat. They refuse to move.

Oppositional behavior in a child with OCD or anxiety can be all consuming. So, what are you supposed to do? 

Well for starters, treating it as typical oppositional behavior won’t work. Either will typical parenting approaches. When a child with OCD or anxiety is being difficult, their opposition is vastly different than the typical oppositional kid. 

In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into the oppositional behavior so many of us are dealing with when it comes to parenting kids with OCD or anxiety.

Anxiety or OCD can make you feel like you house has been hijacked. It can make you feel like your home is not your own. Having a child with anxiety or OCD can often mean, having a controlling child.

Kids with anxiety or OCD can be controlling for many reasons. In this week’s podcast episode, I go over the reasons why a child feels the need to exert control, and what to do about it.
