OCD is a type of anxiety disorder. Kids with OCD become preoccupied with whether something could be harmful, dangerous, wrong, or dirty. Kids with OCD may also worry about things being out of "order" or not "just right." They may worry about losing "useless" items, sometimes feeling the need to collect these items.Someone with OCD feels strong urges to do certain things repeatedly — called

My precious Ava, along with OCD also has collitis. She started having blood and mucous in her stools about a year ago, some were associated with pain and cramps. We did every test, stool, blood, etc. There still wasn't any explaintation for it. Her pediatrician sent us to a gastro-specialist at All Children's Hospital. This facility was about an hour and a half away from our home. When we took

I started reading about Obessive Compulsive Disorder on the internet. I read that it can be some what genetic. My husband may have to agree with that! I rearrange rooms in this house like changing underwear. There are certain things that I can't stand: cups all over the house, candy wrappers, bags of chips laying around. For some reason, I can't allow the throw pillows to be on the floor, the

I am 27 years old. Mother of 3 girls. I am a certified dental assistant, but I am currently enrolled back in school. I am a mommy all day, every day, full time student, wife, maid, taxi, handy man, etc.... I am sure that there are other women that feel the SAME way. The true reason for this blog is to vent. I don't have many people to talk to and my husband works nights. There are only so many

Today was a pretty good day for Ava, although we did have a few obsticles. One was when we talked about going on a walk. We then have to go through everything that she has to do. She say's "get dressed" and she will continue to say it, over and over again in the same tone until you say "yes, baby, lets get dressed". And then comes socks, shoes, jacket, etc. However, when it was time for Raegen to

My darling toddler has obessive compulsive disorder, also known as OCD. OCD is a term that has been used pretty loosely around my life. My friends would joke about someone having OCD because they washed their hands 4 times in a row, or had to have something a certain way. Now, it has become a daily task to handle. My husband and I always joked that she had OCD when she would line her toys up,

I was surfing the web tonight, looking for any mom blogs regarding OCD in children. I found a lot of medical websites, ehow sites, etc. So, I decided that maybe it was time to start my own. This is my blog, I am a mother of three girls, 8 year old, 2 year old, and 9 month old. They are my reason for being. From one day to the next I am faced with challenges and questions of mothering. I look at
