If your child refuses to shower, melts down over clothing, or avoids homework, you might assume they’re being defiant. But what if it’s actually OCD driving their behavior?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast for Anxiety and OCD, I break down how OCD-driven avoidance and compulsions can look like oppositional behavior—and why this misunderstanding is so common.

You’ll learn:

🟤 How OCD can mimic defiance in kids.

🟤 Key signs that reveal it’s OCD, not oppositional behavior.

🟤 Why traditional discipline backfires with OCD.

🟤 Practical strategies to respond effectively with compassion and boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or confused by your child’s behavior, this episode will help you recognize the hidden OCD compulsions behind it—so you can support your child with OCD in the right way.

👉 If you’re looking for more support, check out my online courses for parents raising kids with OCD.
