Handling Your Child’s Anxiety, OCD, and Christmas Break

This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.

Just because it is the holiday season doesn’t mean our child’s anxiety and OCD take a break. The holidays can stir up a variety of issues for our kids depending on their particular anxiety and OCD themes. 

Down time can cause more anxious or intrusive thoughts. The whirlwind of parties, overstimulation and no routine can make emotions run high. It can be tricky to deal with contamination, restrictive eating, panic attacks and upsetting thoughts around relatives and friends. 

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring some common struggles kids with anxiety or OCD have over Christmas and winter break and what you can do to reduce these issues.
