PSP: 234: Why Consequences Don’t Work on Anxiety or OCD

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD is hard enough, but when you disagree with family members on how to approach it, the boat gets even rockier!

In my practice I often watched as family members bickered over whether they should consequence behavior that was anxiety or OCD related. 

I would hear things like:

You coddle him too much You just need to discipline her more You can’t let them get away with that

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explain why consequences simply do not work on anxiety or OCD behavior and what to do instead.
