 OCD Help December 1, 2008
This has been a tool for us to talk to our 5 year old about his OCD. Parts of it are over his head and I'm sure we will have to repeat this again but it at least gives us guidelines as lost parents for how to start battling this awful disorder.
 When your brain gets stuck November 17, 2008
This is a great book to help younger kids understand and take control of their OCD. It has been very helpful to several of my younger clients (10 and under).
Even better for younger kids November 11, 2008
This is a very good book. It does clearly explain to young children what the experience of OCD is and describes in general terms what to do about the problem. However, since I just read The Boy Who Finally Stopped Washing, I see that it only discusses OCD in broad terms. Each person requires treatment tailored to their individual needs. Also, some sensitive kids, as most OCD kids are, might not like thinking that their brain is "stuck" (something is wrong with them). This book is a little cook-booky and does not tell a success story like the book I just read did.
Great Tool for Psychoeducation October 24, 2008
As a child psychologist, I have found this to be a very useful workbook. The chapters are relatively brief and help children learn about their symptoms of OCD through active engagement with stories, metaphors, pictures and fun activities. The author presents the material in a positive, non-threatening way and the messages about how to manage symptoms of anxiety are very hopeful. I highly recommend it!
This book's audience is young kids, say 6-11 October 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I wish I'd had access to this book when my daughter was younger. She's 14, suffers with trichotillimania (pulls hair out), and the habit is now deeply ingrained. This book is too simple for her and is more appropriate for younger children, up to age 11 or possibly even 12.
