It’s dinner time. You prepare for battle. You put the spaghetti down and find yourself tensing up. It doesn’t take long. One slurp. One fork scraping teeth. The screaming begins. The doors get slammed. Dinner is over. This happens every night. But, it’s not just dinner. There are many other sounds that cause your child to rage out of control. Misophonia has been destroying the peace in your house. Misophonia triggers are everywhere.

Misophonia triggers aren’t about noises being perceived as too loud (hyperacusis), it is about pattern-based noises triggering the limbic system, causing suffers to instantly feel rage, disgust and anxiety when exposed to certain noises.

So what does that mean for you and for your child? It means patterned noises like tapping, chewing, clicking (common misophonia triggers) can turn a switch on in your child’s brain causing them to feel instant rage, disgust or anxiety.

It isn’t pretty and it isn’t fun. Let me teach you what Misophonia is and how to help a child who struggles with it. Not only do I treat Misophonia in my practice, I suffer silently with it as well…

Summary of Podcast:

Does your child rage when they hear certain sounds? Learn what Misophonia is and how to help a child with it.

In this episode you will learn:

What Misophonia is and how it impacts a child’s behavior

The Difference between Misophonia and Hyperacusis – a condition seen with Sensory issues.

How to help a child with Misophonia and keep the peace in your home

Your child is doing another “quirky” behavior. It seems like it is always something. You remember the time she had to twirl as she entered a room. And then there was the time that she had to blow on her fingers. You stare as your daughter is tapping the kitchen table four times with each finger. What do these behaviors mean? Once a well-intentioned friend suggested it was child OCD. You had scoffed at the idea. She obviously didn’t know your daughter. Her room looks like a bomb hit it and don’t even get you started on her hygiene. But if it isn’t child OCD, what is it?

So many parents dismiss the possibility of childhood OCD because they don’t understand it. OCD isn’t just about germs. OCD isn’t about being neat and orderly. Sure, those are two components in some OCD themes, but what about the thousands of other themes?

If your child has anxiety they are at more risk to develop childhood OCD as well. If your child has OCD, their OCD themes can change overnight. Detecting OCD themes early and accurately is key to successful treatment.

Don’t be left clueless. Arm yourself with knowledge. You never know when you’ll need it.

Summary of Podcast:

Child OCD goes way beyond germs and orderliness. Learn the 8 major OCD themes and how they look in children and teens.

In this episode you will learn:

Common myths centered around child OCD.

The 8 most common OCD themes.

Examples of how to spot these OCD themes in your child.

The hair on the back of her neck is standing up. Her stomach feels weird. She doesn’t like how he is staring at her. She has a weird gut feeling, but she doesn’t know what it is. “Go hug your Uncle Victor,” her mom says. She nervously shakes her head no. “Don’t be rude! Go hug him!” her mom demands.

How often do we inadvertently tell our child to not trust their gut feeling? How often do we send them the message that their gut feelings don’t count?

Our gut feeling is more than just a vague knowing. It is our body screaming at us that something isn’t right. It is our internal alarm and our first line of defense. It can be a lifesaver and it shouldn’t be ignored. So how do we foster our child’s gut feeling instead of stripping it away?

Let’s talk about it.

Summary of Podcast:

In this episode, I talk about the importance of teaching our kids what a “gut feeling” is and how to listen to it.

In this episode you will learn:

The many ways we, as parents, inadvertently teach our kids to not listen to their gut feeling.

How to speak to kids about their gut feelings.

How to foster and encourage them to listen to their gut feelings.

When Anxiety and OCD Cause Poor Behavior & Meltdowns

Your child is imploding. You stand there in disbelief. What happened? You run through the last ten minutes in your head looking for the trigger, the spark that lit this fiery storm. Like a needle in a haystack, your mental search is futile. You come up empty handed – again. Meltdowns and poor behavior are becoming par for the course in your home.

You want to throw the parenting rule book at him. You want to strip him of every privilege and shut this nasty party down. But this isn’t your first rodeo. You’ve been here many times before and you know how it goes. This isn’t your ordinary, run of the mill poor behavior. These aren’t your typical meltdowns. These meltdowns are born from a build up of anxiety. A build up a stress. A build up of such strong emotion there should have been an emergency alert before it hit your home.

So how are you supposed to deal with this tsunami? This tornado of chaos wreaking havoc in your home?

I have my own cyclone at home, although we’ve been able to downgrade him to a tropical storm. I have also helped many parents in my practice learn how to spot and prepare for storms just like the one described. Get on your raincoat and galoshes and let’s talk about riding the storm.

Summary of Podcast:

In this episode you will learn how to differentiate between typical behavior and meltdowns and anxiety-induced behavior. You will also learn how to parent this behavior differently than you would if it was not anxiety-induced.

 

In this episode you will learn:

How child anxiety and OCD can cause poor behavior and meltdowns.

The best way to address this behavior.

How to reduce poor behavior and meltdowns caused by anxiety and/or OCD.
