It can be frustrating, confusing, and leave you feeling stuck. But for kids with OCD, those three words often carry a lot more meaning than we realize.</p><p>In this episode, I’ll unpack why “I don’t know” is such a common response in kids with OCD—and what it’s really communicating. You’ll learn what’s not helpful (even when it’s well-intentioned), and what you can do instead to support your child without feeding OCD’s grip on their thinking.</p><p><br></p><p>We’ll talk about:</p><ul><li>The real reasons behind constant “I don’t know” responses</li><li>Common parent traps that unintentionally make things worse</li><li>Practical ways to respond with clarity, patience, and effectiveness</li><li>How to use these moments as teaching tools—not power struggles</li></ul><p><br></p><p>You don’t need all the answers—but you do need a game plan. Tune in for real support that meets your child where they are.</p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
