One reason for that is because we are not steering the ship. This is not <em>our</em> battle. This is not <em>our</em> struggle. Although trust me, I know we have our own struggles on this journey raising a child with OCD or anxiety.</p><p>But, we don’t get to override our child’s autonomy to smooth things out. I wish we could.</p><p>The single hardest part about raising children with OCD or anxiety is we have to follow their pace. We have to follow their level of engagement. If we overstep, over push or over cheerlead, we risk shutting them down.</p><p>In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to know when to step back and how to support your child while their foot is firmly on the brake.</p><p>🌸 Learn how to be an effective anchor for your child with anxiety or OCD.
